Overcoming clinical barriers to cell transplantation technologies

Join our panel of experts as they discuss how cell transportation technologies have the potential to emerge as an effective treatment option for a wide range of diseases.

Cell transplantation technologies have shown great potential in treating various diseases, including neurological conditions, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. However, despite the promising results, these technologies face numerous barriers that prevent widespread adoption.

In this webinar we will explore how the scientific and medical communities, as well as regulatory bodies, overcome issues with quality, cost and standardization, to improve the availability and quality of transplanted cells, reducing the cost of transplantation procedures, and develop methods to overcome the immune response.
