Stem Cell Therapy for Cardiac Care: Moving Forward

HYBRID: “Regenerative medicine using stem cells offers tremendous potential for treating a range of medical conditions. In the past two decades, researchers have made significant progress, and initial cell-based therapies are now emerging to treat cardiac diseases. However, some less reputable clinics are marketing stem cell treatments with claims that far exceed known benefits.

“At this event, moderated by [Maya Pomroy](https://business.rice.edu/person/maya-pomroy) of [The Public Lead](https://thepubliclead.com/) with physician-scientists [Dr. Deepak Srivastava](https://www.bakerinstitute.org/expert/deepak-srivastava) and [Dr. Emerson Perin](https://www.texasheart.org/people/emerson-perin/), who will review advances in stem cell research for cardiac care over the last 20 years. Fellow [Kirstin R.W. Matthews](https://www.bakerinstitute.org/expert/kirstin-rw-matthews) will also highlight the central policy and ethical concerns that have emerged during this period.”
