Mediware® and Save the Cord Foundation Sponsor Exclusive Event on Cord Blood Treatments for Autism
Lenexa, KS (PRWEB) February 10, 2016 -- On February 19 at BMT Tandem Meetings 2016, Dr. Michael Chez will present “Using Stem Cell Therapy to Treat Autism.”
During this live presentation, Dr. Chez, who is the director of Pediatric Research at Sutter Neurological Research Consortium and director of the Pediatric Epilepsy and Autism programs in the Sutter Sacramento Region, will discuss clinical applications and potential mechanisms of using stem cell therapy for treatments in autism.
One child in 68 is diagnosed with disorders on the autism spectrum in the U.S., and studies outside the U.S. have shown improved clinical outcomes from stem cell treatments. Dr. Chez will review the medical and scientific findings in autism that may make stem cell therapy a potential intervention strategy for the treatment of this disorder. He will also review historical case reports, and Dr. Chez, who was the primary investigator in the first study in the U.S. using autologous cord blood stem cell infusion in autism, will discuss the safety and clinical implementation in this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. He will also address the future potential of using stem-cell-derived therapy for the treatment of autism.
Dr. Chez’s program is part of the popular “Share the Science” series sponsored by Mediware Information Systems, Inc. and Save the Cord Foundation. Share the Science is typically broadcast as a series of webinars and is an innovative educational program that brings the latest research and breakthroughs to the industry through unbiased and noncommercial presentations.
