STEM CELL INTERVENTIONS: HYPE OR HOPE?
Event Information
Description
1 in 3 people may benefit from regenerative medicine in their lifetime - and stem cells are unquestionably the new frontier.
With numerous stories in the public domain of “cures” (hype) but also of tragic circumstances where hopeful patients (including children) have lost their lives after buying stem cell interventions overseas - how do we separate the hype from hope?
Join Fulbright Scholar and winner of the University of Sydney Award for Professional Achievement, Professor Iona Novak, to hear the latest research information and exciting advances on stem cell interventions for neurological conditions, and ideas for supporting families considering stem cell tourism.
"Professor Iona Novak is one of those completely dedicated individuals whose vision for a better life for children with cerebral palsy (CP) cannot be shaken or deterred no matter what. I and the world's scientific community recognise her extraordinary qualities and her dedication to medicine and critical science that will allow her to succeed in her ambitions to make a significant difference to those with CP." Professor Alan Trounson, Emeritus Professor Monash University
