Course Summary
Clinical Applications of Stem Cell Research 2The lectures on Clinical Translation of Stem Cells emphasize the scientific, clinical, regulatory, ethical, and social issues that should be addressed so that basic stem cell research is responsibly translated into appropriate clinical applications for treating patients. These lectures by multidisciplinary group of stem cell experts comprise researchers, clinicians, ethicists, and regulatory specialists who offer recommendations founded on general principles for scientific, clinical, and ethical conduct that should be followed by all translational stem cell researchers, clinician-scientists, and regulators in this fascinating field described as the “next evolution of medical treatments.".
