The NYSCF Conference, 2018
The NYSCF Conference is the leading scientific meeting on translational stem cell research. The 2018 Conference convened over 500 participants from academia, industry, government, non-profits, and patient groups and featured 28 scientific presentations on topics such as neurodegenerative disease, tissue regeneration, immunotherapy, disease genetics, emerging cellular therapies, and cancer.
Speakers included NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the FDA Dr. Peter Marks, and CRISPR pioneer Dr. Feng Zhang, among other world-renowned, multi-disciplinary scientists. These innovative scientists presented their latest findings about the transformative impact of stem cell research on numerous diseases with a high unmet need and discussed the next steps for bringing new treatments out of the lab and into the clinic.
