The Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine will co-host the 2016 World Stem Cell Summit  December 6-9 in West Palm Beach, FL.

Organized by the Regenerative Medicine Foundation (RMF), the Summit forges collaborations to advance cell therapies, while creating a supportive environment of regulation, legislation, financing, reimbursement and patient advocacy.

The Summit is the largest interdisciplinary stem cell meeting in the world, featuring more than 250 scientists, business leaders, investors, philanthropists, regulators, policy-makers, economic development officers, patient advocates and experts in law and ethics, presenting the latest scientific discoveries, commercial and innovation opportunities, legal and regulatory solutions, and best practices.

The interdisciplinary agenda is designed to explore the field’s most pressing topics with seven tracks:

• Discovery
• Translation and Clinical Trials
• Cell Manufacturing
• Regenerative Medicine in the Clinic
• Ethics, Law, Regulation and Society
• Hot Topics and Future Trends
• RegMed Capital Conference

During the summit, the Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine will use social media to connect using the hashtag #WSCS16 . At the end of the week, we'll let the tweets, Google+ posts, Flickr photos, Facebook posts, Instagram, and YouTube videos tell the story.
