This meeting brings together both research and clinical experts to advance translational applications of stem cell medicine.

The goal of this symposium is to bring together stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and the public to discuss developments in the field for turning stem cell-based therapies into approved products for patients in need. The program will highlight stem cell regeneration in several disease areas and interactive discussion panels regarding stem cells in space and stem cell clinical trials.
