OUR MISSION

The affiliates of the Cell Surgical Network® (CSN) are devoted to advancing access and quality care in the area of adult stem cell regenerative medicine in order to help people suffering from a variety of inflammatory and degenerative conditions.

OUR STORY

In 2010, Dr. Mark Berman brought back vital technology from Asia that allowed us to isolate SVF stromal vascular fraction which contains high numbers of regenerative cells using a person’s own fat as part of a minor closed surgical procedure. Later that year, Dr. Berman teamed up with Dr. Elliot Lander to identify methods to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of SVF. Drs. Berman and Lander continued to improve the process and then formed California Stem Cell Treatment Center, a multi-specialty team that could deploy SVF to patients under an institutional review board that governs investigational work on humans. The main focus of the project was to establish the safety of autologous use of SVF for various degenerative conditions. This pioneering work spread rapidly since Dr. Berman and Dr. Lander believed that it was vital to teach the technology to qualified physicians who wanted to bring regenerative medicine into their own practices. The Cell Surgical Network® was founded in 2012 to help accomplish this goal. Affiliate physician members of the research group are made up of teams of multidisciplinary specially trained physicians in order to best assess and provide care for their patients. The Cell Surgical Network® emphasizes quality and is highly committed to clinical research and the advancement of regenerative medicine.
