Our Objectives
- Accelerate Stem Cell Research to Cure the Major Illnesses of Our Generation.
- Provide a Focus on Education in All Areas of Stem Cell Research and Therapy.

We also seek to have appropriate legislation and improve current governance to make Irish medical research more competitive internationally and to educate and thus reduce risk to the Irish patient.
