Alexander Ivanovich Smikodub was born in 1948. He graduated from Kyiv Medical Institute (1972). His interest to cell therapy treatment appeared in 1970 when he worked over the problems of nervous tissues trophicity, metabolism disorder and neurogenic dystrophy.

- In 1994, under the legal approval by the Ukraine health Ministry, established the world’s first Human Embryonic Stem Cells Treatment Centre.

- Obtain 21 international patents.

- Over 210 clinical programs of using embryonic stem cells.

- Awarded by Oslo for advanced medical work.

- 21 years of experience in using different doses & mixture of embryonic stem cells in the treatment of different diseases such as diabetes, AIDS, aging etc.

- By 1994, over 6500 cases have been treated over a period of 18 years.

- Among the various diseases, embryonic stem cells have achieved better results than other types of treatment in terms of depth, quality & specificity.

- Professor Alexander Ivanovich Smikodub from the world’s only stem cell therapy hospital has published over 143 articles in Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Holland, Sweden, U.K., Ireland, South Africa, France, Romania & Denmark & received international recognition.

- Professor Alexander Ivanovich Smikodub’s research on stem cell therapy has contributed to doctor’s understanding & broadening of their views on the traditional method of treatment of diseases.

In 1985 his work over embryonic stem cells started. He introduced clinical application of embryonic stem cells and the work in the sphere of transplantation of liver cells started. In 1991 when permission for such surgery was given by Public Health Ministry of Ukraine, Smikodub started applying them in clinical practice. The diseases that occurred because of the reduced cell count, sclerosis, dystrophies, malignancy were the first ones that obtained the treatment of this type. One scientific work followed the other. At first he gave an account of the regularities of the post-transplantation period describing them as stages, specific syndromes and non-specific syndromes.

Then in 1991 another work of A.I.Smikodub was published. The Syndrome of the Early Post-Transplantation improvements was described in this work. They refer to the suspencion stage when stem cells generate biologically active substances, such as endorphins, cytokines, biogenic amines. The syndrome appears 12-14 hours after transplantation and may stay for weeks. Many patients noticed that even when they were on a final stage of disease.

Tedious years of work are in the past and now the clinic can boast of over 6500 transplantations. He helped people in treatment of such diseases as ulcerative colitis, Diabetes mellitus, Parkinson's disease etc. Professor Alexander Smikodub Sr. started the clinic and his son continued father's work. The dynasty of father and his son did a great job. Now it is famous all over the world and many people come here for stem cell treatment when there is no hope left.
