Together, we can look forward to the future

Developing solutions to the health of generations to come

Our Mission

The Foundation was set up to help address the critical gap in funding that is hindering the progress of promising stem cell research into new treatments.

We aim to do this by:

Operating a lean, cost-effective organisation, under the direction of an eminent Board of Trustees and with carefully controlled project management.

Our operating costs account for less than 8% of the funding we raise.

Raising funding for stem cell research projects in UK medical schools, universities and hospitals that have the potential to result in clinical benefits for patients within five years

Since inception, we have helped over £24 million to be invested in stem cell research projects in the UK through a combination of fundraising, co-funding and collaboration

Our Research

The Foundation exists to support late stage basic research and clinical trials that have the potential to treat intractable diseases and conditions where there is no current treatment.

Making a donation to the UKSCF couldn't be simpler.

You can donate regularly or make a one-off donation using a number of methods.

Apply for Funding

The UK Stem Cell Foundation focuses on funding late basic research projects, phase I and II clinical trials that contribute enabling technologies and/or translational research in stem cells that could ultimately lead to a phase III clinical trial endpoint.

The definition of 'enabling technology' or 'translational' research has been left open, as a range of studies could be defined under these terms, for example use of stem cells in animal models, expansion of cells or routes of delivery of stem cells.
