WASHINGTON, DC–(Marketwire -06/05/12)- The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM), the international organization representing the interests of the regenerative medicine community, today announced the full agenda for the Clinical Outlooks for Regenerative Medicine meeting. The event will take place on June 19, 2012 at The Starr Center, Schepens Eye Research Institute, 185 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA.
As regenerative medicine and cell therapy products advance further in clinical studies toward gaining approval, it is important to understand how these products will be administered and how they will perform clinically. This meeting, which was organized jointly by ARM and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, will explore the clinical status for certain key disease areas from the perspective of clinicians, patient groups and leading regenerative medicine companies.
