Organization Overview
The mission of The New York Stem Cell Foundation is to accelerate cures for the major diseases of our time through stem cell research. Since our founding in 2005, NYSCF has achieved outsized results in a relatively short period of time, thanks to private philanthropy.
We realize our mission through three main avenues:
Accelerating Stem Cell Science at the NYSCF Research Institute
The NYSCF Research Institute Is an independent non-profit accelerator that bridges the ongoing gap between research institutions and pharmaceutical and biotech companies by reducing the cost, time, and risk that historically inhibit the development of new treatments and cures.
Supporting Leading Researchers Worldwide
NYSCF champions and convenes many of the world’s top scientists and the broader stem cell community with our Postdoctoral Fellowship and Investigator Programs, as well as our annual conference and Initiative on Women in Science and Engineering (IWISE).
Advancing STEM Education for Everyone
NYSCF democratizes access to science education for students and the public through the NYSCF Academy for Science and Society, which encompasses our internship program, Summer Immersive for high school students, lab tours, event programming, and more.
