This webinar will address the types of stem cells and their potential uses in treating diseases. From an introduction into the field to the pros and cons of using stem cell technology to treat patients, Prof. Hollands will clarify facts and myths regarding stem cell and stem cell technology.

Though a trending field with highly-funded research and development, most people understand very little of what exactly stem cells are and what they can and cannot be used for. To put it in one sentence, stem cell technology is a rapidly developing field that combines the efforts of cell biologists, geneticists, and clinicians and offers hope of effective treatment for a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases.
Broadly speaking, in stem cell transplants, the stem cells are used to replace the damaged cells or serve as a way for the donor's immune system to fight some types of cancer and blood-related diseases, such as leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and multiple myeloma in the recipient’s system.

This field is an amalgamation of medicine and technology, with high prospects of changing the whole healthcare ecosystem in the coming future. So, join in with Prof. Hollands to better understand this technology.
