Cohen Foundation for Stem Cell Research (SCF) is hosting “Accelerate
the Cure,” a fundraiser with Dr.
Joshua Hare, Louis Lemberg Professor of Medicine, Director, Interdisciplinary
Stem Cell Institute, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine.
“We can now inject the
cells exactly where we want to in the inside of the heart, and we can do
it in multiple locations”
WHERE: THE COLLECTION, Jaguar Showroom, 200 Bird Road, Coral Gables
WHEN: Thursday, January 21, 2010 7 pm – 10 pm

“Accelerate the Cure” is another example of the Sabrina Cohen
Foundation’s dedication to community outreach and education, furthering
its mission to raise funds for targeted disease based stem cell
research. Up to 150 guests will be attending the affair, including
University of Miami faculty, distinguished business owners and South
Florida residents.
Known for his work at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Joshua Hare, a
Cardiologist, is a world-renowned pioneer in the use of adult stem cells
to repair heart damage. He currently has three ongoing FDA-approved
clinical trials studying stem cell therapies for heart disease. Many
researchers view heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, as
the next “big frontier” in stem cell treatment. "We can now inject the
cells exactly where we want to in the inside of the heart, and we can do
it in multiple locations," noted Dr. Hare.
At the event, Dr. Hare will give an update about his latest research
findings and introduce attendees to ISCI, a new state of the art stem
cell research facility. Sign-up for private lab tours will follow the
presentation. Guests will also have the opportunity to win a weekend
loan on a Jaguar Xf through a raffle. Cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres will
be served.
