This event has passed.

Recent scientific advances in the field of regenerative cellular therapies have the potential to benefit many patient needs, including applications in cardiology, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and organ transplantation. However, significant regulatory challenges must be overcome if we are to fulfill the promise that cellular therapy holds for overcoming illness and injury.

The Bipartisan Policy Center released recommendations on ways the United States can accelerate the availability of safe and effective cellular therapies to Americans and improve U.S. competitiveness. Following remarks by former Senator Bill Frist, MD and former Representative Bart Gordon, a panel of scientific experts discussed groundbreaking research in the field.
