Royan institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology first made its appearance in the Royan Institute when generation of first mouse and human embryonic stem cells was reported by Royan in 2003 and Royan became interested in extending this field from generation of science to application of science.

Initially this group was part of the Department of Embryology at Royan institute for Reproductive medicine. The Department of Stem Cells and Developmental Biology was then created in the end of 2003 to work on stem cells and differentiation in culture.

By expanding of researches and establishing of other departments, Royan institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology was established to recognize the advent of Tomorrow’s medicine research in the context of stem cells and developmental biology, regenerative medicine, personalized medicine, cancer medicine, biomedical engineering, and the brain and cognitive sciences.

The institute is committed to cross-disciplinary partnerships and collaborations by biology, engineering, and medical academics to improve health by providing a comprehensive and coordinated “bench to bedside” approach.
