Stem cell industrial scientific park to be built in Wenjiang

The application of stem cells in medical treatment always attracts public attention. Recently, construction began on a stem cell industrial scientific park in Wenjiang, Chengdu, Sichuan province.

The project is now in its first stage of construction, which includes a stem cell technology service center, technology innovation center, and marketing promotion center. Also, a development platform that integrates stem cell storage, technical research and science popularization education will be built.

Use of umbilical cord blood and stem cells, which contribute to health, remains uncommon in China, due to its high scientific and technological requirements in procedures such as collection, transport, preparation and extraction. The stem cell industrial scientific park will be able to store more than a million units of umbilical cord blood, whose scale will rank top in the world.

In addition to medical treatment, health care, anti-aging and cosmetology and other applications of stem cells will be developed in the second and third stages of the construction, whose positioning is a health industry service platform.

The construction of the platform includes a stem cell hospital and a health care center, where patients and visitors can enjoy high-end customized services. The construction of a stem cell industrial scientific park is one of the most important projects in Wenjiang this year. It is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2015, when the Wenjiang stem cell industrial scientific park, with the help of Chengdu international medical center, will become the industry leader in stem cell industry development and health tourism.
