About us

Stem cells are the body’s master builders, capable of regeneration and repair, holding great potential to revolutionise medicine and human health.

The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (CSCI) is a world-leading centre for stem cell research, dedicated to transforming human health through a deep understanding of stem cell biology.

CSCI is a strategic collaboration between the University of Cambridge School of Biological Sciences and the School of Clinical Medicine. We’re based in the purpose-built Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus – the largest biomedical campus in Europe.

With around 30 research groups studying stem cell behaviour, our researchers are using their findings to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

We are:

• Pioneering: Using new technologies for innovative research to generate insights into stem cell biology and address the biggest challenges to human health

• Collaborative: Bringing together biological, physical, and clinical stem cell scientists into a cohesive and integrated environment

• Visionary: Training the next generation of stem cell scientists to carry our mission into future generations
