I have worked in bioinformatics / genomics company. My clients are from biotech industry as I develop projects and solutions primarily for Biotech sector. I am using my knowledge and understanding of this field to help spread the encouraging news about stem cell research and dispelling the myth and ignorance surrounding it.

As of now Existing stem cell therapies available in leading Hospitals like Lifeline Hospital,Chennai Or Manipal Hospitals,Bangalore have not been found successful for Type I diabetes. In India only Adult origin Stem cells(NOT Embryonic or Cord blood origin) have been approved for Human trials.
