CONGRESS COURSE 10
Sunday, 1 July 2018 I Room 134
Stem cell therapies in clinical applications: progress and challenges
Organised by Special Interest Group Stem Cells
COURSE COORDINATOR
Cristina Eguizabal (Spain)
COURSE TYPE
Basic
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Clinical applications using stem cell-derived cells in regenerative medicine are adressing a wide spectrum
of conditions using a variety of stem cell types. Currently, there are several clinical trials ongoing using stem cells for the treatment of some diseases, also in reproductive medicine. The present Precongress Course will focus on the (i) quality requirements that are necessary for stem cell based applications, (ii) the progress of actual treatments for problems releated to the reproductive field and (iii) the recent breakthroughs of clinical applications of differentiated cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Embryologists, stem cell researchers, reproductive genetic researchers, clinicians Educational needs and expected outcomes
• review the quality requirements that are necessary for stem cell based applications
• discuss the progress of actual treatments for problems related to the reproductive field
• debate the recent breakthroughs of clinical applications of differentiated cells derived from human iPS cells
