Six new stem cell therapies, all forecast to reach physicians in 2010, will be featured at the 5th Annual Stem Cell Summit on February 16 in New York City. These new therapies include allograft products, innovative forms of autologous stem cell technologies, and at least one FDA-approved stem cell drug. New studies showing rehydration of the disc nucleus, regeneration of new heart muscle and others are also on the agenda.
The Stem Cell Summit is an annual gathering of stem cell and biomaterial company executives, scientists and investors to explore the therapeutic applications of stem cells, the successful path to stem cell product commercialization, and the latest investment opportunities within the space. The Summit features 35 corporate presentations, a scientific panel, separate tracks for stem cell tools & instruments, and a closing reception. It is an intensive one-day event held at Bridgewaters in New York City's historic South Street Seaport.
