The Key Laboratory of Stem Cell Biology was established in 2001 under the support of Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Researcher Ying Jin (Director of the Shanghai Stem Cell Institute ) took as the director of the Lab, while the academician Gang Pei took as the director of the scientific committee. In recent years, Key Laboratory has condensed the further research direction: They oriented on the important issues of clinical cell therapy, carried out the establishment of stem cell lines; stem cells pluripotent maintenance and molecular mechanism regulation; research on immune regulation ; and directed differentiation into nerve / heart / bone cells, With help of clinical research platform and team, they will stick to solve important scientific and clinical issues in the field of stem cell research.

  6. Isolation and identification of tumor stem cells to provide new drug targets for tumor treatment. Elucidation of molecular networks regulating tumor development to find new approaches for early diagnosis of tumors.

Research groups:
KLSCB has 14 regular member research groups, 26 guest seat research groups, and 6 platform. Altogether, KLSCB has now 339 members, including 28 scientists and 125 staff and 203 graduate students. The 14 regular member research groups are headed by the following principal investigators:
Yufang SHI, Director, IHS
Ying JIN, IHS
Huangtian YANG, Vice Director, IHS
Tingxi LIU, Director Assistant, IHS
Yanyun ZHANG, Vice Director, IHS
Kerong Dai, IHS
Xiangyin KONG, Director Assistant, IHS
Baoxue GE, IHS
Guohong HU, IHS
Shengdi CHEN, IHS
Guang NING, IHS
Weidong LE, IHS
Pingjing GAO, IHS
Yue QIN, IHS

KLSCB focuses its research on stem cell translational research. Some groups continue their efforts in explore the basic scientific truth like the molecular mechanism for the maintenance and regulation of the pluropotency of the embryonic stem cells, high quality stem cell lines establishment, as well as the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of stem cells. Others are targeting their research at the solution of the clinical challenge for stem cell application, including the differentiation of stem cells into different types of cell, immunological regulations when stem cells as a cell therapy, and so on. The third group is working on the establishment of core technology platform and training base for stem cell research. Regardless the efforts in different groups, the overall work are guided to the solution of some key problems in stem cell application while the basic mechanism is explored.

Since the reorganization of the KLSCB, significant progress has been made. By the end of June 2006, the member groups of KLSCB already published several papers, which are among the top stem cell research papers generated in China. KLSCB has been also actively participating the activities in the international and domestic stem cell research communities. Following the Eastern China Science and Technology Forum on Stem Cell (Stem Cell Research: From Bench to Bedside) organized by the KLSCB member groups, the professors participated various international conference, symposium, visiting colleagues around the world and deliver lectures in the research institutions around the world. Recently, Dr. Ying Jin has been elected as the annual meeting program committee member of International Society for Stem Cell Research. A China-ISSCR Stem Cell Conference in Shanghai in 2007 is under discussion and actively preparation.

In order to promote stem cell research in Shanghai and China and internationally, KLSCB is working to serve more scientists in their research as a 'public' stem cell research platform. We can currently provide the following service and technology support while continuing efforts to increase our capacity:
• Provide human embryonic stem cells (from SHhES1, a hES cell line established in Dr. Jin's lab);
• Provide mouse embryonic stem cells (from rES cell lines established in Dr. Jin's lab);
• Provide parthenogenetic mouse embryonic stem cells (established in Dr. Jin's lab);
• Provide mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells;
• Provide training opportunities at KLSCB in stem cell culture and feeder preparation, etc.

All materials can be provided upon arrangement with MTA.
