Online Webinar
Our bodies have remarkable healing abilities, such that minor scrapes and cuts can fully heal within a week. However, with more severe injuries, comes a longer recovery time. Recent scientific advancements have led to the discovery of using stem cells to regenerate damaged cells.
The webinar explained the latest advances in stem cell-based therapies for skin repair and regeneration.
Speaker:
Mahrukh Riaz
Doctoral researcher – University of Zurich (UZH), Switzerland.
Marie Curie Ph.D. fellow – SkinTERM EU project
What are the latest advances in stem cell-based therapies for skin repair and regeneration?
The webinar will unlock the secrets of Skin Regeneration. The speaker will talk about the drawbacks of traditional treatments for Skin Damage, how stem cells have revolutionized the skin repair process and how do stem cells differ from other types of cells in their ability to transform into different cell types.
