Our story
Where Science
Meets Human
Possibility.
A caregiver’s curiosity. A deeply personal mission.
A world of science worth understanding.
STEM CELL CHRONICLESCuriosity led us here. People keep us going.
Our origin · A trip that changed my perspective
Born From Curiosity.
Built With Purpose.
My name is Jojo Flaherty. I’m a concierge caregiver, and a single trip to Panama opened a new chapter in my life.
I traveled to the Stem Cell Institute with a patient, flying alongside Dr. Neil Riordan. I arrived as a skeptic. The conversations and experiences that followed sparked a desire to learn everything I could about stem cell science.
What began as a trip became a commitment: to ask better questions, follow the research, and make what I’m learning easier for others to understand.
The people behind the purpose
For the people we love.
And the questions we carry.
My interest is deeply personal. My best friend lives with CIDP—chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy—and my mother lives with multiple autoimmune conditions.
Wanting to understand what research might mean for people I love gave this journey a deeper purpose. Their experiences remind me that behind every scientific question is a person, a family, and a hope for a better tomorrow.
Our mission
“To translate complex science into knowledge that empowers people to ask better questions and make informed decisions.
What guides us
Clarity over hype
Explain complex topics in plain language, with context that makes the learning feel approachable.
Human stories
Listen to patients, caregivers, and families. Personal experiences matter—and each journey is different.

Reading with curiosity
I’ve read Dr. Neil Riordan’s The Rising Tide three times. It helped inspire my interest and led me to keep exploring the wider research.
Connecting with the field
I joined the International Society for Stem Cell Research as an affiliate to stay connected to the global research community.
Showing up to learn
I traveled to my first convention in Boston to listen, learn, and bring those conversations back to this community.

A note from our founder
Knowledge can turn
uncertainty into possibility.
I created Stem Cell Chronicles because I believe understanding opens doors. This is my space to share what I’m learning, ask thoughtful questions, and connect with others who are curious about the future of healing.
I’m still learning, too. My promise is to bring curiosity, compassion, and care to every conversation—and to keep the people behind the science at the center of it all.
