This unique gathering unites representatives from the entire stem cell spectrum. The World Stem Cell Summit is a flagship event, bringing together the founding visionary researchers, clinicians, business pathfinders, key policy-makers, regulators, advocates, experts in law and ethics to present compelling presentations, share information, and together chart the future of regenerative medicine.

A special day of free, public science outreach entitled “Lab on the Lake” will kick off and compliment the summit on Sunday, Sept. 21, at the Pyle Center. More information about Lab on the Lake appears on the main summit website.
