The Veterinary Stem Cell Consortium (VSCC)

Regenerative Medicine is one of the most intensively researched medical branches, with incredible progress every year, which gradually turns more and more into clinical reality. Many of the pioneering innovations are achieved by cooperating teams of human and veterinary medical scientists.

The unique alliance of human and veterinary medicine offers an optimal opportunity to get a broad and interdisciplinary idea of the progress in the field of regenerative medicine and holds a great scientific potential perfectly aligned to the requirements of both fields.

The VSCC, is an international Consortium of Veterinarians with different specializations and with research affinity towards human medicine that was recently founded to realize this concept.
