Overview

The Student Society for Stem Cell Research was founded in August of 2003. We are a chapter of an international network dedicated to the advancement of scientific research for cures. We believe that stem cell research will revolutionize the field of medicine. With a coordinated and cooperative global effort, we can advance stem cell research in the most efficient manner.

SSSCR is guided by the following principles:

1. Communication with the public is vital to fostering greater understanding and acceptance of emerging medical technologies of the 21st century.
2. We have the opportunity to be of service to humanity by helping those with debilitating conditions, their family, and their friends by advancing medical research.
3. The infrastructure for resources to support medical research should be enhanced, including the attraction of human talent and the allocation of government funds.

SSSCR’s ideals are:

1. Humanity- commitment to making this world better by alleviating human suffering.
2. Unity- stem cell research will be optimized with global cooperation among nations and diverse interests, including industry, academic, government, and society.
3. Service- we have the opportunity to help those with debilitating conditions, their family, and their friends by advancing medical research.
4. Vision- our generation’s passion and ambition for regenerative medicine is unparalleled.
5. Healing- stem cell research offers hope for millions of people that otherwise would have none.

We believe that we can make a difference.
As students and future leaders we strive for a world that is better tomorrow than it is today. Stem cell research will help us achieve this brighter and healthier tomorrow.

Our message is simple:
Don’t deny our generation the opportunity to offer hope and to fulfill the promise of stem cell research to treat disease and disability.
