Advocating Worldwide for Ethical Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation

The ISSCR advocates on behalf of the stem cell research community around the world, giving researchers a voice in crucial policy and regulatory debates. The ISSCR supports all forms of stem cell and pluripotent cell research, performed under rigorous and transparent oversight. We advocate for embryonic, adult, and reprogrammed stem cell research to move forward in parallel to best understand disease and identify new therapies. The ISSCR is opposed to the premature commercialization and marketing of unproven stem cell-interventions and supports global efforts to improve the regulation of stem cell therapies.

The ISSCR promotes rigorous standards for research integrity, patient welfare, respect for research subjects, transparency, and social justice, as outlined in our Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation.

ISSCR Guidelines

The ISSCR guidelines address the international diversity of cultural, political, legal, and ethical perspectives related to stem cell research and its translation to medicine. All guidelines maintain and underscore widely shared principles in science that call for rigor, oversight, and transparency in all areas of practice.
