Your Gateway to the International Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Community
The annual World Stem Cell Summit is the global stem cell and regenerative medicine community’s flagship event. The Summit brings together scientists, patients, advocates, business people, investors, educators, ethicists, policy makers, and government representatives from around the world. It provides a unique opportunity to network and make new connections, share knowledge, and collaborate with the best and brightest to tackle the field’s most important issues.
Event Organizers
The Genetics Policy Institute (GPI) produces the Summit, which is co-organized in 2011 by the City of Hope, Cedars Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute, Caltech and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and other leading research institutions.
The 2011 World Stem Cell Summit marks the seventh annual event produced by GPI. The Summit advances GPI’s mission to promote stem cell research and its application in medicine to develop therapeutics and cures for many otherwise intractable diseases and disorders. Past Summit partners and co-organizers include University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Johns Hopkins University, University System of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WiCell Research Institute, Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Stanford University and Baylor College of Medicine.
Program Overview
The 2011 World Stem Cell Summit is the largest and most comprehensive multi-track stem cell conference, featuring more than 170 renowned international speakers and 50 hours of in-depth programming in science, business and society tracks. The theme of the 2011 is translational regenerative medicine. Our program will emphasize scientific discoveries, business models, legal and regulatory solutions and best practices. No other stem cell conference offers the breadth of content and global perspective. The agenda works to unite, educate, and harmonize the global stem cell community.
This year’s diverse three-day program will include an array of opportunities to engage and educate attendees. In addition to compelling keynotes and panel discussions, the program includes roundtable lunch conversations with experts, a Stem Cell Action Town Hall Meeting , Stem Cell Action Awards Dinner, numerous networking and partnering opportunities.
