Symbiosis Centre for Stem Cell Research (SCSCR) was established as a new initiative of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) on 29th July 2016. SCSCR is located at the hill base campus within Symbiosis School of Biological Sciences (SSBS), under the Faculty of Health Sciences (FoHS). The centre is a unique research centre in Pune that will perform research exclusively on stem cells.
Welcome to Symbiosis Centre for Stem Cell Research (SCSCR) at Symbiosis International (Deemed University). SCSCR is strategically located in Symbiosis School of Biological Sciences (SSBS), providing an ideal ecosystem for the interaction of SCSCR faculty with the faculty members of SSBS. Most importantly, the location of SCSCR at the hill base campus, opposite the multi-specialty Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre (SUHRC), helps in bridging the gap between laboratory research and clinical practices.
