The Stem Cell Process


Scientists at MStem Cell derive and grow human embryonic stem cells in a slow, meticulous process that takes months for each kind of cell. Then cells are frozen, stored in the MStem Cell laboratory on the University of Michigan medical school campus and made available for use by researchers worldwide.

Stem Cell Process

Don’t discard. Donate.

You can make a difference in understanding disease causes and discovering new treatments through the donation of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) -tested and -affected embryos.

Donate Embryos

Your financial gift


Advancing embryonic stem cell research depends on funds from private donors.
