Get a glimpse of the progress being made by Los Angeles/Orange County firms in using
adult stem cell research to tackle diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cardiac Disease, Diabetes, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Leukemia, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Spinal Cord Injury, Autoimmune
Disorders, and Stroke
Speakers will discuss how stem cell research promises to change the pharmaceutical manufacturing regime from one dominated by mass production of bulk drugs to one centered around individualized patient therapies. This regime shift
may result in cheaper and more effective therapies, but it also raises thorny issues -- as demonstrated in the recent FDA public hearings -- about how stem cell trials will be structured, what constitutes compelling evidence in evaluating cell-based treatments, and how therapies
will be regulated.
