The Center for Genetics and Society is a nonprofit information and public affairs organization working to encourage responsible uses and effective societal governance of human genetic and reproductive technologies and other emerging technologies. The Center supports benign and beneficent medical applications of these technologies, and opposes those applications that objectify and commodify human life and threaten to divide human society.

The Aims and objects of the Society is to formulate guidelines and ethical principles and assist and guide professional bodies, regulatory bodies and governments in the formation and modification of guidelines in alignment with the advances occurring in the field of stem cell therapy.

The Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust continues to raise money in support of the unit and the unit remains the only one in the country offering allogeneic stem cell transplantation for adult patients.

The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLSC has been on the forefront of blood cancer advances such as chemotherapies and stem cell transplantation leading the way to the targeted therapies and immunotherapies that are saving thousands of lives today.

The Netherlands Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (NVGCT) is dedicated to promoting basic and clinical research in gene therapy and cell therapy within the Netherlands. By connecting scientists, clinicians, patients, public and government we wish to contribute to the development of gene and cell therapy for various diseases.

The Australian Cord Blood Foundation was formed for the purpose of raising money to support the Sydney Cord Blood Bank. Cord Blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and in the attached umbilical cord following childbirth. Cord blood is rich in stems cells. It is used for transplantation as an alternative to bone marrow, and as a curative treatment for many hematopoietic and genetic disorders. The Australian Cord Blood Foundation is dedicated to the support of the Sydney Cord Blood Bank in its quest to provide life saving transplantation of blood stem cells for the treatment of leukaemia and other life threatening conditions of children as well as adults.

JSHCT (Japan Society for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation) was initiated as The Nation-wide Gathering for Friendly Discussion about Bone Marrow Transplantation.

Hong Kong Society of Transplantation mission is to promote research, education, training, and appreciation in the science and technology of transplantation, and to make available to the community up-to-date information on new developments in transplantation and organ/tissue harvesting for public benefit.

The Student Society for Stem Cell Research was founded in August of 2003. They are an international network dedicated to the advancement of scientific research for cures. They believe that stem cell research will revolutionize the field of medicine. With a coordinated and cooperative global effort, they can advance stem cell research in the most efficient manner.

The mission of ACGT is to seek out and support revolutionary scientific research into the causes, treatment and prevention of all types of cancer using cells and genes as medicine. Cell and gene therapies are destroying tumors every day in the laboratory and in human trials, targeting only the cancer with few side effects to healthy tissue. ACGT’s rigorous grant review process, under the guidance of a preeminent Scientific Advisory Council, have resulted in some of the most successful breakthroughs in the history of cancer treatments and led to many patients in complete remission.

The goal of the society is to promote (the quality) of stem cell research and to propagate knowledge and information on this subject in the Netherlands. DSSCR membership is open to those who have a continuous interest in any discipline important to stem cell research.

Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting. Researchers would like to use human motor neurones generated from stem cells to help them understand what goes wrong in MND.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are a type of adult stem cell made in the bone marrow, which have the ability to produce the different cells found in the blood. Although only trialled in a small number of people so far, AHSCT has shown some success, particularly in aggressive forms of MS. They are supporting stem cell research in MS.

Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises – ABLE is a not-for-profit pan-India forum that represents the Indian Biotechnology Sector. The primary focus of ABLE is to accelerate the pace of growth of the Biotechnology sector in India, through partnering with the Government in their biotechnology initiatives to deliver optimal policies and create a positive regulatory environment, encouraging entrepreneurship and investment in the sector, providing a platform for domestic and overseas companies to explore collaboration and partnerships, forging stronger links between academia and industry and showcasing the strengths of the Indian biotech sector.

Coalition for the advancement of medical research transfers mission and assets to alliance for regenerative medicine. Founded in 2001 with a mission to protect regenerative medicine and secure federal funding and oversight for human embryonic stem cell research.
