The researchers who are involved in Stem Cell Australia come from a variety of backgrounds. Based at leading research institutions in Australia, they are experts in bioengineering, nanotechnology, stem cell biology, advanced molecular analysis, and clinical research. At the University of Queensland, Perry Bartlett specializes in neural cells in the adult brain. His 2001 article describing the discovery and isolation of neural cells in the mouse forebrain has been identified as one of the classics in stem cell research by the journal Nature. Robert Capon of the Institute for Molecular BioScience maintains extensive diversity and microbial libraries.

Justin Cooper-White develops advanced technological platforms for research programs. Peter Gray is an expert on the biological processes of mammalian cultures. Melissa Little is a pioneer in renal stem cell biology and renal regeneration. Michael Monteiro focuses on the nanostructural materials field. Lars Nelson has been doing pioneering work in cell engineering since 1998. Pankaj Sah focuses on the mammalian central nervous system. Christine Wells is a specialist on inflammatory diseases, and Ernst Wolvetany brings a cross-disciplinary expertise to his research on iPS development.

At the University of Melbourne, Milella Dottori leads the Stem Cell Laboratory at the Centre for Neuroscience. She works with director Martin Pera on human embryonic stem cells and has a background in neural specification and patterning of the nervous system. David Gardner is known around the world for work in embryonic and reproductive medicine. Doug Hilton is a respected name in molecular and cellular hematology. Working with Perry Bartlett, Trevor Kilpatrick was involved in the paradigm shift taking place in neural stem cell research. Alice Pébay heads up the Centre for Eye Research. Joy Rathjen is doing pioneering work on pluripotency. Lachlan Thompson focuses his research on brain repair, and Ann Turnley works on post-injury regeneration of the nervous system.

At Monash University, James Bourne is the leader of a group that is investigating the ability of the neocortex to repair itself. Andrew Elefanty has earned an international reputation for his work on the differentiation of human pluripotent cells. David Elliot specializes in human cardiac biology. Robin Hobbs is an American who works on germ line stem cells. Jose Polo is an epigeneticist. Nadia Rosenthal is the head of the Australian Regenerative Institute. Ed Stanley is involved with the growth and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. At the University of New South Wales, Robert Nordon is a pioneer in experimental hematology.

Warren Alexander is the head of Cancer and Hematology and the director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. He is also in charge of the Mouse Genomics Centre and Gene Targeting Laboratory. Robert Graham returned to Australia in 1977 after several years in the United States to become director of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Initiative, focusing on regenerative cardiology. As the co–deputy director of the same institution, Richard Harvey conducts research on heart development and congenital heart disease. At CSIRO, David Haylock concentrates on human hemopoietic and progenitor cells. His colleague Andrew Laslett developed the FACS-based immune-transcriptional profiling system. At the Florey Institute, Tobias Merson concentrates on myelinating cells in the nervous system, and Clare Parish focuses on brain regeneration.
