I was notified today that I have been chosen to receive a scholarship award from Boston Medical Center to attend the Stem Cell Summit at the Hynes Convention Center on October 2 & 3.
I will also get to meet Michael J Fox Tuesday evening at the Stem Cell Awards dinner!
The climate is changing for stem cell research -- for the better!
Stem cell research represents the universal hope for healing and the political climate is changing for those seeking cures through revolutionary medicine. New rules are being written and public and private funding for research is becoming available. Genetics Policy Institute, Harvard Stem Cell Institute and Burrill Life Science Media Group have joined together to produce The Stem Cell Summit. This unique event will gather the global community of stakeholders to learn what's new, share ideas, search for solutions and focus on advancing stem cell research from "the bench to the bedside."
Meet top innovators, researchers from around the world, clinicians, government officials, business leaders, political strategists, bioethicists, legal experts and advocates to celebrate scientific achievements, confront challenges and chart the future of regenerative medicine. Learn how cutting-edge biomedical research might impact your health and the health of your family and loved ones.
RESEARCH, ADVOCACY, FUNDING, LAW, COMMERCE, PHILANTHROPY, FINANCE, BIOPHARMA, ETHICS, POLITICS, HOSPITAL PERSPECTIVES, PATIENT INFORMATION
I will write a synopsis for my blog on the information I receive at the conference next week. In the meantime, check out The Stem Cell Summit for more information.
