Overview

About the ISGCT

Dr.Agarwal Hospitals and gene research foundation have served medicine and research for over 100 years through 4 generations. With the advent of mana autologous DNA and stem cell therapy for the last 13 years over 18000 patients have been successfully treated.

Dr.Agarwal Hospitals has remained a pioneer in many techniques one of them being autologous gene therapy which actually is based on one self's biological therapy. This hospital has always kept in tandem with the society and its needs. Thus recognizing the problem has started massive work in treating the otherwise untreatable diseases thus helping the sufferers to lead a better and healthy life using its own science and technology of autologous gene therapy.

Dr.Agarwal Hospitals and gene research foundation is also the pioneer of stem conference in India. For the first time in India a conference of such magnitude was held on November 2017 at IISc, November 2018 at NIMHANS and November 2019 at Bangalore Medical College where doctors and researcher from all around the world joined in to be a part of this extravaganza.
