Karim Nayernia Stem Cell Research and Academic Background

Professor Dr. Karim Nayernia is an internationally recognized leader in stem cell research and a pioneer in personalized medicine. He gained worldwide recognition after becoming the first scientist to isolate spermatogonial stem cells from adult tissue—an achievement that opened new horizons in reproductive and regenerative medicine.

Educational Background

Professor Nayernia earned his Ph.D. in Human Genetics from the University of Göttingen in 1989, laying the groundwork for his future contributions to molecular biology.
Following this, he undertook postdoctoral research in Molecular Genetics at the same institution, continuing his scientific work from 1989 to 1993.
His academic trajectory reached a new peak in 2003 when he was awarded a Habilitation in Molecular Human Genetics, again from the University of Göttingen.

Professional Positions

Professor Nayernia currently serves as Director of the P7 Medicine Institute, where he leads research in predictive and personalized healthcare.
He also holds a position as Professor of Stem Cell Biology at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.
Earlier in his academic career, between 2003 and 2006, he was a Professor of Molecular Human Genetics at the University of Göttingen in Germany.

Research Focus Areas

In 1989, Dr. Nayernia completed his Ph.D. in Human Genetics at the University of Göttingen, Germany.
He continued his academic career with postdoctoral research in Molecular Genetics at the same university from 1989 to 1993.
Later, in 2003, he earned his Habilitation in Molecular Human Genetics, also from the University of Göttingen.

Karim Nayernia’s Stem Cell Achievements

Professor Nayernia was the first to isolate spermatogonial stem cells from adult tissue.
This breakthrough showed that the cells could differentiate into multiple types.
Building on this success, he developed the P7 Medicine model for personalized care.
