ORD. PROF. DR. SÜREYYA TAHSİN AYGÜ (1895-1981).

Prof. Dr. Süreyya Tahsin Aygün has a story of dedication, success and professional loneliness.. Although he was found as odd and not being understood by medical authorities due to the inadequacy in medical technology and poor opportunities in medicine those days; the great importance of his scientific work has been started to be understood during the last few decades. As the Turkish Medical Society we cannot thank and be proud of him enough. Because he is the first scientist in the world who has started both practical and clinical research on stem cell.
