Shinya YamanakaISSCR President

Our current president, Shinya Yamanaka, MD PhD is one of the celebrated scientists of our time. In October 2012, Yamanaka was named the Nobel Laureate for Physiology or Medicine, along with fellow stem cell pioneer Sir John B. Gurdon for the groundbreaking discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent. The findings of Gurdon and Yamanaka offer an unparalleled opportunity to study early development and diseases and develop new methods for diagnosis and therapy.
