irreplaceable in educating and raising awareness in regards to adult
stem cell research.
John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute
The John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute (JP2SRI) is a
non-profit research institute whose mission is to advance research
and education on stem cell research in a manner consistent with a
pro-life bioethics. The institute strictly focuses on adult and cord
blood stem cell research and education. The institute’s goal is to
focus on reducing the barriers to translate basic research into
clinical research. JP2SRI’s mission is to coordinate research
activities between the institute, academia and industry and to find
treatment solutions for patients with chronic disorders that could
potentially benefit from adult and umbilical cord stem cells.
JP2SRI was founded by Dr. Alan Moy. Dr. Moy is a physician-scientist
whose previous academic appointment was at the University of Iowa
College of Medicine and College of Engineering. He is also the
founder and president of Cellular Engineering Technologies Inc., a
biotechnology company located in Iowa, which focuses on preclinical
industrial applications in adult and umbilical cord stem cell
research. Dr. Moy is currently a practicing physician in private
practice and holds an Adjunct Associate Professor position in the
College of Engineering at the University of Iowa.
The Institute represents an opportunity for pro-life Christians to
support stem cell research consistent with pro-life values. JP2SRI
DOES NOT conduct human embryonic stem cell research and does not
perform therapeutic cloning or somatic cell nuclear transfer. To
