The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) is a leading nonprofit stem cell organization focused on accelerating cures for major diseases through stem cell research. Founded in 2005, NYSCF operates a research institute that bridges academic research and pharmaceutical development by reducing cost, time, and risk in treatment discovery. It utilizes a proprietary automated stem cell robotic platform, the NYSCF Global Stem Cell Array®, integrating AI and robotics to produce diverse stem cell lines at scale for disease modeling and drug discovery. NYSCF supports research in diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, macular degeneration, psychiatric diseases, and reproductive cancers. The foundation also fosters scientific collaboration and education through fellowship programs, conferences, and STEM outreach, positioning itself as a catalyst in translational stem cell science with over $450 million invested in research and a global network of collaborators.
