Shiraz transplant research center (STRC) began its activities in 2001 with the aim of research in different fields of transplantation because:  
 
• Liver and pancreas transplantation are exclusively done in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences
• Shiraz is one of the active centers of kidney transplantation.
• There is an active team of bone marrow transplantation in hematology department.
• Corneal transplant is done in ophthamology department.       

So STRC developed to carrying out the below goals:     
 
• Carry out research in different aspects of transplantation, to apply new tests for transplanted patients to create better life quality for them.
• Gathering and registering exact and detail information about all of our transplanted patients, to have complete data from these patients.
• Establishing hepatocyte and islet cell isolation technique for cell transplantation and advancing researches.
• Training human powers for carrying out research and applying activities in the field of transplant.   
 
Now our center has experience in differentiation of Mesenchymal stem cell to hepatocyte, isolation and culture of animal hepatocyte and animal transitional cell culture.
