Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (CSCI)

The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is a strategic collaboration between the University of Cambridge School of Biological Sciences and the School of Clinical Medicine.

Our scientists study stem cell behaviour and use the findings to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. 

Our 30 research groups and over 300 biological, clinical and physical scientists operate across a wide range of tissues and at multiple scales.  

We have an industry membership program called the Stem Cell Institute Technology and Innovation Forum (SCI-TIF), aiming to unite scientists in industry and academia based on a shared interest in stem cells and their applications within Cambridge and beyond. 

We also offer higher education opportunities to train the next generation of clinical and nonclinical stem cell scientists. CSCI's postgraduate program includes: a PhD in Stem Cell Biology, a Master’s degree (MPhil) in Stem Cell Medicine, and a Master’s degree (MPhil) in Biological Science.
