Pioneering regenerative medicine and cellular therapy in the UAE since 2018.
Founded in 2018, Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center (ADSCC) is a global leader in cellular therapy, regenerative medicine and cutting-edge research. As the UAE’s first and only FACT-accredited cellular therapy institute, we combine innovation, state-of-the-art facilities and patient-centered care to treat conditions once considered incurable, from blood cancers to autoimmune diseases.
Founded in 2018, the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center (ADSCC) has emerged as a global leader in cellular therapy, regenerative medicine and cutting-edge research. Recognized as the UAE’s first and only FACT-accredited cellular therapy institute, ADSCC is transforming healthcare through an integrated approach to innovation, state-of-the-art facilities and patient-centered care.
In 2021, ADSCC was honored by a visit from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE. His dedication to medical research continues to drive local and global efforts to treat incurable diseases.
Our work spans three areas:
Our results reflect years of clinical experience and a commitment to outcomes that match international standards.
ADSCC has introduced several treatments that were previously unavailable to patients in the region.
In just a few years, ADSCC has grown from a new center into a regional leader in cellular therapy.
ADSCC was established to launch regenerative medicine and cellular therapy in the UAE.
We performed the UAE’s first bone marrow transplant for blood cancer. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we obtained a patent for UAECell19©, a treatment using stem cell nebulization, and used it to treat more than 20,000 patients.
ADSCC was honored by a visit from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, whose dedication to medical research drives efforts to treat incurable diseases.
We performed the Middle East’s first bone marrow transplant for a patient living with multiple sclerosis.
ADSCC was recognized as Abu Dhabi’s Center of Excellence in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. We also introduced the region’s first CAR-T therapy for pediatric leukemia, offering new hope to young cancer patients.
We expanded our research and clinical focus into anti-aging, diabetes, immune diseases, tumors, genetic therapies, 3D bioprinting, neurological disorders and degenerative conditions (see Research and Innovation below).
In 2024, ADSCC became the UAE’s first and only cellular therapy institute to earn accreditation from the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). FACT is recognized worldwide as the leading accrediting body for cellular therapy programs, and its accreditation confirms that our clinical, laboratory and quality standards meet international benchmarks.
In 2023, ADSCC was recognized as Abu Dhabi’s Center of Excellence in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, reflecting our leadership in bone marrow and stem cell transplants in the UAE.
ADSCC holds 8 intellectual properties, including AD-BMT© and UAECell19©. UAECell19©, a treatment using stem cell nebulization, was used to treat more than 20,000 COVID-19 patients.
ADSCC operates the region’s largest GMP-certified laboratories, more than 15 specialized labs and a growing team of international scientists, all under one roof in Abu Dhabi.
Our Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) laboratories are the largest in the region. They enable the local manufacturing of CAR-T cells, stem cell therapies and nanobody bioproducts, supporting breakthroughs in cellular medicine and ongoing clinical research.
