Their work is currently in the pre-clinical development stage of stem cell based therapies for ALS, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), spinal cord injury (SCI) and coronary heart disease. The end result they aim for is to perform the world’s first human embryonic stem cell therapy. A special focus during the Symposium was put on induced pluripotent stem cells and their potential clinical applications, by Dr. Sjef Copray, Associate Professor, Department Neuroscience, UMCG, Groningen, the Netherlands who was also one of the organizers of the Symposium.
