My vision
Six years ago, when I joined my medical school, I was so happy that I
will be a doctor and achieve my dream but after a while I noticed that we
are only treating the complications and the symptoms of a great percentage
of the diseases without curing them and when I heard about stem cells a
window of hope was open in front of me and I knew that I will specialize in
this part of medicine.
I believe that stem cells have a promising potential in curing most of the
known diseases and the next time will be the stem cells Era and I hope that
I will be one of the persons who will carry this technology to the humanity.
