Regenerative Medicine and cell-based therapies are profoundly impacting our world. This scientific revolution may impact human history as much as the development of the Internet and human flight.
The World Stem Cell Summit accelerates this revolution by convening scientists, philanthropists, government leaders, bioethicists, regulators and companies from around the world to share their incredible breakthroughs. Speakers will share stunning innovations that include understanding the causes of disease, growing mini-brains, engineering body tissues and organs, reversing the aging process, accelerating wound healing, creating a gigantic, disruptive new industry built on the foundation of cell-based medicine and revolutionizing the practice of medicine.
Nowhere else will this many world leaders and pioneers in regenerative medicine present and discuss the future of this area of medicine in one place. Among the many topics to be addressed are:
- The use of stem cells for regeneration of tissues, organs and spinal cords, along with the possibility of “fixing our broken hearts” and fixing damaged brains.
- Regenerative medicine – can it be used to thwart the aging process, rejuvenate the human body and allow a longer life span?
- Healing our wounded warriors – U.S. Military doctors are using stem cells for wound care.
- Regenerative medicine is a multi-billion-dollar industry – the new, new thing that will touch all areas of life on our planet.
- The challenges of securing financing in a rapidly expanding multi-billion dollar industry.
- Red-hot areas of development including Crispr gene –editing, cord blood, mini-brains, exosomes, growing new organs, human-animal chimeras, iPSC’s and more.
- Economic Development derived from Stem Cell R&D: In Japan, China, Canada, Israel, the United States and other nations.
- The Philanthropists and Advocates – Their behind-the-scenes involvement and their personal stories. From funding gifts to impact investing, to grassroots advocacy, they are changing our world. The 2018 Action Award honorees will be honored for their efforts in the field of stem cell science and regenerative medicine.
- Consumer demand – While some experts warn of the risks of jumping the gun on seeking stem cell therapies at home and abroad, the practice of medicine is evolving with a host of cell-based treatments in the “here and now.”
- Untangling the regulatory logjam – with representatives of leading regulatory agencies including the U.S. FDA.
