Great talk by @DrWillerth from @BiomedicalUvic on “3D bioprinting personalized neural tissues using stem cells" #TMM2018 @BCRegMed @StemCellNetwork @Laura_delaVega_ @aspectbiosys

Fascinating discussion on "The Right to Try" from #insightful #policy and #bioethics experts @VarditRavitsky @AmyZarzeczny @HollyLynchez @jeremycsnyder 😯🤔. Great to see the intersection between #science and policy! 👏🙌 Just the start of an important conversation! #TMM2018

Holly Fernandez Lynch (UPenn): #RighttoTry legislation in the US is an attempt to circumvent the #USFDA. It is unnecessary, politically motivated, unhelpful and potentially dangerous for patients. @CCRM_ca @StemCellNetwork

Ellen Vera Allen's amusing account of participating in a #clinicaltrial to repair the damage to her heart following a heart attack. Wondering if she was given "super" #stemcells #TMM2018

RC's President and CEO Deborah Gordon-El-Bihbety will be joining @HKStrategies' Michelle McLean at #TMM2018 to speak to #stemcell research #trainees on effectively advocating for their own #research & #innovation. Excited to join @StemCellNetwork & @CCRM_ca this afternoon!

Today at #tmm2018 my colleague @BlakeMMurdoch asks the health prof regulators to do more to stop the marketing of unproven stem cell therapies. Needed! cc @CPSA_CA @cpso_ca @picardonhealth @CBCHealth @KCroweCBC @StemCellNetwork @UAlbertaLaw @CCRM_ca

Dr. Duncan Stewart’s team @OttawaHospital is bringing stem cells to clinics by extracting cells from blood vessels, enhancing regenerative genes, and coordinating with collaborators across Canada 🇨🇦. One of many examples of Canadians being the first to benefit from stem cells!

The @OttawaHospital Excelerator program is developing a framework to help bridge the gap between bench and bedside. This will help save money and streamline the process of bringing cell therapies to patents. Dr. Dean Fergusson is sharing more about this program at #TMM2018.

Gordon Keller: Need to model disease in the right cell type. Developmental biology tells us how to make the right cells. #TMM2018 @StemCellNetwork @CCRM_ca @BlueRockTx

Just a few more hours to cast your #CellsISee vote. Past winner @MLithopoulos stopped by to get her ballot in - if you’re at #TMM2018, you should too.
