Prof. Stan Gronthos' research specialty is in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. He is Founder and Head of the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Laboratory in the Adelaide Medical School, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Adelaide. In 2018, Prof Gronthos was awarded a Fellow of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research. In 2014, the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Laboratory moved to the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) on North Terrace, adjacent to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital site.
Research Interests
The focus of the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Laboratory is to investigate the origin and biological properties of different postnatal mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) populations, that give rise to supportive connective tissues such as myelosupportive stroma, adipose tissue, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, bone, cartilage, ligament, cementum and dentin. Our work seeks to identify critical genes and epigenetic factors that regulate MSC self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation. In addition, research efforts have focused on identifying the factors central to MSC mediated regulation of haematopiesis, angiogenesis and immune cell modulation. Importantly, many of these molecular processes are considered underlying causes of chronic diseases and tumour cell development. Together with Prof. Andrew Zannettino and our commercial partner (Mesoblast Ltd), our basic research activities have progressed into Phase II/III human clinical trails for orthopaedic, cardiovascular, cancer and immune based indications. Our continuing research into the basic properties of MSC will help develop more effective and safer stem cell based therapeutic options in the future for a wide variety of clinical diseases and conditions.

Lab Head, Prof Stan Gronthos
Postnatal mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived from connective tissues are capable of developing into multiple cell lineages (myelosupportive stroma, adipocytes, smooth muscle cells, myoblasts, ligament cells, chondrocytes and osteoblasts). Our Lab examines the transcriptional, epigenetic and signalling factors that regulate MSC self-renewal, proliferation, multi-differentiation and immune cell modulation. These molecular processes are being investigated as underlying mechanisms mediating tissue repair, inflammation, tumour cell development and aged related diseases.
