Making safe and effective treatments available for patients
Regenerative cellular therapies represent the next generation of groundbreaking treatments that are showing great promise in cardiology, neurology, oncology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and other areas. Several well-designed clinical trials are being conducted under FDA investigational new drug (IND) protocols. At the same time, a handful of clinics have caused patient harm or made questionable claims, taking advantage of vulnerable patients and casting a negative light on this emerging science and industry.
Patient Advocacy
Ultimately, everything we do is in support of patients and families.
We inform, celebrate and mobilize the global advocacy movement consisting of patients, advocates and medical philanthropies, all supporting regenerative medicine, including stem cell research and cell therapies.
Endorsing Organizations
World Stem Cell Summit
We are a non-profit organization that produces the World Stem Cell Summit, Hosts Investor Meetings , Symposiums, and the Stem Cell Action Awards, and other events.
Our goals are to:
- Expand Knowledge
- Break Down Silos
- Encourage Collaboration
- Provide Networking Opportunities
