The Stem Cells Tourism Research project aims to understand the socio-cultural dynamics of stem cell tourism, particularly the factors shaping Australians‘ views and expectations of stem cell treatments offered abroad.
The project will investigate the contributions of different factors, including informal networks and information sources—such as the Internet, print media, treatment providers and other travellers—to shaping individuals‘ expectations and decisions about such treatments.
The project website has recently been launched and invites participants who have travelled abroad for stem cell treatment , as a patient or a carer, to share their story.
