Stem cell researchers have already achieved some encouraging results in India. The right policies, public-private partnership, funding and an increasing scientific base now contributing towards strengthening India's global position in stem cell research over the coming years.

With the aim of promoting and improving stem cell research in India, Stem Cell Research Forum of India (SCRFI), an Indian society for stem cell research has been established.

We hope the outcome of this event will include a sustained network of stem cell researchers as well as long-term collaborative research proposals.
