Xenotransplantation and Regenerative Medicine

The Pursuit of Precision: The Science Advancing Individualized Medicine

What if we could replace diseased or damaged organs and other body parts with new lab-created versions? How might transplanting tissue from other species help the critical shortage of human transplant organs? Tune in to listen to two noted experts in regenerative therapeutics and xenotransplantation (transplanting organs between members of different species). Learn more from these experts as they discuss innovations, future opportunities, challenges, ethical and legal issues, and the public’s perception of these new therapies.

Guests are:
