Stem Cells and Parkinson's Disease: Research Advances + Patient Experiences
Program Description: Co-organized by the ISSCR and the WPC, this open access webinar will provide a high-level outlook of current cell therapy research and clinical applications for Parkinson’s disease. Presenters will highlight advances in cell therapies, including basic research discoveries and the latest clinical trials. Attendees will hear a first-hand account of the journey to receive a cell therapy from a person living with Parkinson’s disease. The program is geared to people with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers who will learn the progress toward novel cell therapy development and to researchers across the stem cell field who will gain understanding of the newest research advances and enhance their knowledge of patient perspectives. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions.
