My vision

Six years ago, when I joined my medical school, I was so happy that I will be a doctor and achieve my dream but after a while I noticed that we are only treating the complications and the symptoms of a great percentage of the diseases without curing them and when I heard about stem cells a window of hope was open in front of me and I knew that I will specialize in this part of medicine.

I believe that stem cells have a promising potential in curing most of the known diseases and the next time will be the stem cells Era and I hope that I will be one of the persons who will carry this technology to the humanity.
