There are many reasons why Stem Cell Institute is one of the best stem cell clinics in the world. We have performed over 25,000 procedures since opening our doors in 2006. We also interact with colleagues at institutions such as the University of Miami School of Medicine and around the globe. This allows us to integrate the latest advancements in stem cell research and development into our treatment protocols.
Stem Cell Institute is unique thanks to our process, our lab Medistem Panama, and Golden Cells™ . Our medical team is here for you during every step of your stem cell journey, from applying for treatment to follow-ups after your visit. Founded by Neil Riordan, PA, PhD, Medistem Panama is the lab where we stay on the cutting edge of stem cell research. We use Dr. Neil Riordan’s Golden Cells™ in our treatments based on years of data-backed research and analysis.
What Makes Us One of the Best Stem Cell Clinics in the World?
There are many reasons why Stem Cell Institute is unique among stem cell clinics. However, there are three things that truly set us apart from the rest, making us one of the best stem cell clinics in the world.
These three factors are:
- Our process
- Medistem Panama
- Dr. Neil Riordan’s Golden Cells™
Our Process
Every stem cell procedure begins with an application. Once approved, we employ a unique treatment protocol tailored to your specific condition. We then contact you to schedule your treatment and stay in Panama City, Panama. You will be met at the airport gate and chauffeured to your accommodations at the Hilton Panama, which is included in your treatment cost.
Stem Cell Institute is located in the office building connected to the Hilton Panama, making treatment as convenient as possible for you. Our medical team will perform a physical when you arrive at our clinic and administer your treatments during your time with us.
Our medical team will also remain in contact with you once you return home. This will include scheduled follow-ups to:
- Monitor your progress
- Provide support
- Answer questions
We take every precaution to ensure that you receive the safest and highest-quality stem cells. We use specially selected human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) collected from umbilical cords donated after normal, healthy births.
Each donor:
- Signs a consent form
- Completes a thorough questionnaire
- Provides a blood sample
Each cord is thoroughly screened for infectious diseases and sterility meeting international blood bank standards. Once the donations are deemed safe, we then extensively test the tissue before selecting it and extracting the stem cells. From the initial screening to extraction and injection, our team is in complete control of the stem cells to ensure your safety.

Medistem Panama
Founded by Neil Riordan, PA, Ph.D., Medistem Panama is the lab and research arm of Stem Cell Institute. Unlike other stem cell clinics, it allows us to perform our own research and produce our own stem cells in-house. Medistem Panama is the only stem cell lab in the Western hemisphere fully licensed for:
- Isolation
- Manufacture
- Storage
- Treatment
Medistem Panama is an 11,000 sq. ft. production laboratory located in Panama’s prestigious City of Knowledge. Our facility is also ISO 9001-certified. Short for the International Organization for Standardization, this means our lab consistently provides you with high-quality products and services.
Producing large quantities of stem cells is no easy task. To achieve this, our production lab is outfitted with:
- Three ISO 7 class 10000 cleanrooms
- Nine ISO 5 class 100 laminar flow hoods
- 17 ISO 5 class 100 incubators
Our research and development lab contains:
- One ISO 7 class 10000 clean room
- Two ISO 5 class 100 laminar flow hoods
- Four ISO 5 class 100 incubators
To round it all out, our prep room has an ISO 7 class 10000 clean room with three ISO 5 class 100 laminar flow hoods.
To put it more simply, Medistem Panama is designed to be one of the cleanest places on the planet. Our world-class laboratory along with our experienced doctors, technicians, and researchers makes Stem Cell Institute one of the best stem cell clinics in the world.

Dr. Neil Riordan’s Golden Cells™
After years of successfully treating patients, our team noticed that some of our patients were experiencing improvements beyond our expectations. While many of our other patients were certainly getting better, this group of outliers showed greater improvement than most. It made us wonder if there was something special about their cells that had gone unnoticed.
To find out, we decided to perform a retrospective analysis of our data. Fortunately, we had plenty to work with after spending years treating patients. With data in hand, we began to pore over our most successful cases looking for a connection.
We learned that nearly all of our exceptional cases were almost completely limited to six particular cell lines. Our team then compared them to our moderately successful cases as well as fibroblast cell lines, which aren’t active at all. To round it all out, we used high-throughput screening so that they secreted over 1,100 molecules.
The screening process revealed that these six cell lines had a very different molecular signature when compared to the other groups. In fact, their signature was actually enhanced by the process. These were dubbed “Golden Cells™” by Dr. Riordan, and they have become the cornerstone of our treatments at Stem Cell Institute.
