Iranian biomedical and stem cell research institute
Royan Institute
Royan Institute (Persian: پژوهشگاه رویان) is an Iranian public and non-governmental research institute in Tehran, Iran, operating under the Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research (ACECR) [1]. Founded in 1991 by Saeid Kazemi Ashtiani, it conducts research in reproductive biomedicine, stem cell biology, and developmental biotechnology.[2]
The institute began its activities with a primary focus on treating infertility and conducting research in reproductive biomedicine. Its scope of research later broadened to include stem cells and developmental biology. The Royan Institute is organized into several research divisions, including departments of stem cells, reproductive biotechnology, and animal biotechnology. It also operates specialized clinics aligned with its research areas.
Research Activities
The institute conducts research in three primary areas: reproductive biomedicine, stem cell biology, and developmental biotechnology. It has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and holds several patents in biomedical technologies.[3][4] Royan collaborates with national and international research institutions and publishes two peer-reviewed journals: Cell Journal and International Journal of Fertility and Sterility.[5][6][7]
Scientific Milestones
- 2003: Established the first human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line in Iran and the Middle East.[8]
Research Divisions
Royan Institute operates three main divisions.[12][13]
Reproductive Biomedicine Institute: Conducts research in infertility treatment, reproductive genetics, endocrinology, and embryology
Stem Cell Biology and Technology: Conducts research in stem cell science and cell-based therapies.[14][3]
Developmental Biotechnology: Conducts research in developmental biology and biotechnology applications.[5]
Affiliated Companies
Royan Institute has facilitated the creation of spin-off companies focused on regenerative medicine and biotechnology, such as Royan Stem Cell Technology Company and Cell Tech Pharmed Company, which develop cell-based therapies and biomedical products.[15][16]
[17]
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) Center
Since 2018, the Royan ATMP-Technology Development Center has focused on developing cell-based medicinal products in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.[3]
