ISSCR Launches Website to Inform Patients and the Public About Stem Cells
“The ISSCR has a long history of sharing scientifically validated information about the potential of stem cell research and clinical advances with the public,” said Amander T. Clark, ISSCR President. “Our reimagined website, AboutStemCells.org, gives us an important avenue to educate the public about the importance of our work, combat misinformation, and raise awareness for the dangers of using unproven and unapproved stem cell-based treatments.”
Message from the President
I have watched the Israel-Hamas war escalate this week with profound sadness and deep concern for those in our community impacted by the violence, devastation, and loss of life. This is an unjust and deeply troubling event on top of many recent attacks against innocent lives around the world. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and their families; we condemn these acts of terror.
Member Spotlight: Jacob Hanna, MD, PhD
I highly value the regional meetings organized by ISSCR, as they often entail involving different new regions of the world, as well as creating a special small sized environment that allows unique discussions and building stronger ties within the community.
