On April 11-13, the Pontifical Council for Culture, NeoStem Inc., and The Stem for Life Foundation will host a second international conference on adult stem cell research entitled: “Regenerative Medicine — A Fundamental Shift in Science & Culture.” In addition to raising awareness about present opportunities in existing therapies and reducing misunderstandings about the field, the conference aims to  foster dialogue among researchers, physicians, philanthropists, faith leaders and policy makers to identify unmet medical needs that can benefit from the development of stem cell therapies. The conference will be held at the Vatican. The conference website can be found here.
