Emergency Meeting to Save the Biologics IndustryWe are gathering to take concrete steps to draft an industry authorized proposal to the FDA for a framework for biologic INDs and a pathway where market approval is possible.

Who We Are
The International Perinatal Stem Cell Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded on the basic principle that stem cells from perinatal tissues contain enormous, untapped life potential to treat many diseases and disorders.
Perinatal stem cell sources include:
|
After a birth, the collection and donation of the perinatal tissues offers absolutely no risk to either the mother or to the newborn. Often these abundant resources of stem cells and tissue are considered medical waste and are disposed of after a birth.
Today, perinatal tissues are considered life saving resources
with the potential to treat many diseases and save lives!

Our Founding Principals
In 2013, the International Perinatal Stem Cell Society, Inc. a non-profit (501(c)(3) organization was founded on the basic principle that stem cells from perinatal tissues contain enormous, untapped life potential to treat many diseases and disorders. Perinatal stem cell sources include: amnion, amniotic fluid, cord blood, cord tissue/wharton’s jelly, as well as placental blood and placental tissue. Perinatal stem cells are formed around the time of birth and are classified as adult stem cells but they really are more primitive then stem cells found in bone marrow or adipose tissue or other traditional sources of adult stem cells and as such, have greater therapeutic potential.

Our Growing Influence in the Regenerative Medicine Community As the society has grown, so has our profile and role in the regenerative medicine community. We continue to embrace our growing role. One of our biggest successes was that in support of the REGROW ACT, legislation to promote stem cell treatment advances that ultimately passed as part of the 21st Century Cures Act, the Perinatal Stem Cell Society was able to gather over 35,000 signatures and presented these signatures to members of congress along with over 700 pages of comments urging action and a Yes vote. |
We Organize World-Class
Scientific Conferences
As a society, we will continue to organize world-class scientific meetings and are planning our 2020 meeting at this time. We are also forming an industry leadership group to develop voluntary standards for the industry to abide by in order to improve the quality through self-regulation.

Couples now have choices about these
valuable resources! • Discarding perinatal tissues
• Donating the perinatal tissue • Banking the perinatal tissue and cord blood in a private cord blood bank for the child that has just been born or for his/her family. |
