2019 co-located Phacilitate Leaders World and the World Stem Cell Summit in Miami solidified regenerative medicine as the future of healthcare
Phacilitate Leaders World and the World Stem Cell Summit will return in 2020 for “Advanced Therapies Week”.
Phacilitate Leaders World (January 22-25, Miami, FL, USA), co-located with the World Stem Cell Summit (WSCS) recently concluded after a week of sharing breakthroughs, facing challenges and developing collaborations. The cure and treatment-focused meeting featured presentations on miraculous innovations in identifying the causes of disease, engineering body tissues and organs, reversing the aging process, accelerating wound healing and more, and hosted 1,500 attendees and 300 speakers.
“This year’s World Stem Cell Summit moved us closer toward finding cures,” said Bernard Siegel, Founder of the WSCS and Executive Director of the Regenerative Medicine Foundation. “The brilliant men and women working in this field are so focused on their research and their patients: it is remarkable how invigorating and inspiring this week of collaboration can be. We all share the mandate to improve health and deliver cures; that is what ‘stem cell’ week was all about.”
