Monash Immunology Stem Cell Laboratories, MISCL, is a collaboration of researchers who seek to develop treatments utilising both stem cells and knowledge of our body’s immune system

Investigators at MISCL study embryonic and adult stem cells and applications for repair or regeneration of blood, pancreatic, respiratory, liver, reproductive, thymic, renal and neural tissues. This is complimented by the study of human reproduction, oocyte formation and embryology. Some of our researchers focus on the immune system for induction of transplantation, immune tolerance, correction of autoimmunity, reversal of immunodeficiency as well as treatments for cancer.

MISCL is a centre of research excellence within the School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. We attract competitive research support from national and international public institutions and commercial partnerships.

MISCL is committed to training the next generation of stem cell scientists with over 50 honours and postgraduate research students. We have many overseas visitors and collaborate with scientists from other Monash University Departments.
