Event Information
Event Topic:
Regenerative medicine is changing the way we treat disease. Why CA leads the way.
Event Description:
We are at a point where we can think not just about holding disease at bay, but of reversing it; restoring vision to people who are blind, helping stroke victims regain use of their arms and legs and restoring speech, curing previously incurable disease. It sounds like science fiction, but thanks to the people of California the state’s stem cell agency is helping make it science fact. This talk will explore how stem cell research is helping change the face of medicine as we know it.
