Cell Therapies Derived from Cord Blood Monocytes - Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg - Share the Science LIVE EVENT

10/12/2019

We are honored to welcome Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg as our featured speaker during AABB 2019 for a special edition of SHARE THE SCIENCE LIVE! This free special session will be brought to you by Save the Cord Foundation thanks to the generous support of WellSky Health (formerly known as Mediware, Inc.).

REGISTRATION REQUIRED (registration closed)
Cord Blood Monocytes: What does the future hold? 

Cord blood monocytes differ from monocytes in adult blood and appear to be uniquely suited for use as source material from which to derive new therapeutics for treatment of brain disorders. DUOC-01, a cellular therapy that promotes myelination, is undergoing testing to augment umbilical cord blood transplants in children with leukodystrophies. We are studying whether infusions of cord blood cells could have efficacy in acquired brain injuries. Clinical studies to date have demonstrated safety and efficacy of intravenous infusions of autologous and sibling cord blood in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, congenital hydrocephalus and autism, and acute ischemic stroke. Further development of these therapies using allogeneic cord blood products can expand access to these therapies for all patients in need. While you're there, be sure to ask our product experts how we can create better outcomes for you.

On October 21st, we invite you to join us for a special session at the AABB 2019 Annual Meeting where we will host Dr. Kurtzberg for a live Share the Science event. At this event, she will speak about her current research and present the latest results from that work. Attendees will also have an opportunity to participate in a live question/answer session with Dr. Kurtzberg. 
​Novel Cell Therapies Derived from Cord Blood Monocytes  

presented by Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg
​
Henry B. Gonzàlez Convention Center | Room 214 AB
| October 21st from 7:00 - 8:15 a.m. ET

Registration required. Admission is free but seating is limited.
