“The future of iPSC-derived cell therapies is being defined today. Patients and clinicians in every town and country demand high quality, safe and effective therapies that are also accessible and affordable. The ISCT–JSRM Joint Symposium provides that forum where the leading edge of the iPSC community come together … scientists, developers, clinicians, regulators, manufacturers, educators, patient advocates, payors, and health systems. We share progress, define challenges and accelerate our shared mission of safe, effective and accessible cell-based therapies world-wide.”
