Therefore, we have not a dream, but a vision to be present to thousands of families, deciphering and preserving what is essential to life.

Just the beginning of a long journey

We have a history of over 10 years of research in the medical field and heavy investment in technology and infrastructure. Follow our journey:

  • 2005

    Biomaterials research for bone regeneration.

  • 2006

    Reprogrammed cells

    Shinya Yamanaka and his team at the University of Kyoto, in Japan, discover how to make adult cells pluripotent again. His team reprograms adult cells by inserting and expressing four critical genes, thereby generating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.

  • 2007

    Research in the development of a stem cell scaffold for bone regeneration.

  • 2007

    NOBEL PRIZE

    Sir Martin J. Evans shares the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Mario Capecchi and Oliver Smithies for their work in genetics and embryonic stem cells.

  • 2009

    Collaboration with the University of São Paulo for research on dental stem cells and the use of hydroxyapatite.

  • 2010

    SPINAL CORD INJURY

    A patient with spinal cord injury became the first person to receive a medical treatment using human embryonic stem cells. It was part of a trial conducted by the Geron Corporation, a pioneer company in embryonic stem cells therapy.
