Ottawa Information day and panel discussion

The advances in cell therapy research are poised to revolutionize medicine, whether that’s harnessing the power of stem cells to treat a multitude of diseases or harnessing the power of the immune system to combat a multitude of cancers. Can stem cells really treat all diseases, regenerate entire organs, keep us from aging and even make us immortal? Can cell immunotherapies really cure cancers? How far along are these experimental treatments? Can we believe private clinics that offer miraculous treatments at exorbitant costs? People love stories of individual successes, but one story is not science. One story is not a treatment for all. It needs the backing of rigorous research.

In collaboration with BioCanRx, this event will help tease apart the myths from the realities and embrace the true potential of our cells.
