Introduction
The therapeutic benefit offered by stem cells holds great promise. It helps understand how complex organisms develop & mechanisms for normal cell development & differentiation, & potential applications. It plays a significant role in replacing damaged cells & scientists are exploring the use of stem cells to repair damaged tissues in degenerative diseases. There is need for a dialogue between scientists, clinicians, investors & general public to attain its full potential.

Stem Cell Research Forum of India (SCRFI) established in 2006 is the only institution recognized for stem cell research in India to bring together the fraternity of Stem Cell Biologists from India & abroad. It’s a platform for sharing scientific knowledge & to deliberate on the future challenges. SCRFI is at its embryonic stages & hopes that this would be a platform for a plethora of activities including the potential of collaborative research & development. Basic science combined with entrepreneurial skills would help in a delivery mechanism of bringing this science in a true bench to bedside approach.
