A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell of a living organism. It has the potential to proliferate or regenerate, repair the organ or tissue after an injury as well as give birth to more differentiated cells. A term that can be associated with the potential of stem cells is "plasticity", which implies that a stem cell can be isolated from one tissue and convert itself into cells of different tissues. While there are several experienced doctors from all over the world, who have done extensive research in the field of regenerative medicine, Dr Alok Sharma has carved his niche ́ in the field of stem cells for neuroregenerative purposes. In India, Dr Alok Sharma, stem cells & incurable neurological disorders go hand-in-hand.

Various treatments such as pharmacological therapies, occupational therapy, speech therapy, behavioral and developmental approaches targets towards the symptoms associated with ASD but the core underlying damage to the brain remains unaddressed. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising tool due to its ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues through overprotective and neuroregenerative properties of stem cells. In India, NeuroGen, located in Mumbai is the best centre for stem cell therapy which is headed by Dr Alok Sharma.

He has authored 15 books, contributed chapters to many textbooks and has over 150 scientific publications to his credit. He has made over 200 scientific presentations at International and National conferences and meetings and has organized and arranged over 25 National and International Conferences/Seminars in various specialized aspects of Neurosurgery & Regenerative Medicine.
