From biology to cure: Hematopoietic stem cells
Have you seen the advertisements about cord blood banks and found yourself wondering: what is it about and how crucial is it for you and your family? We did, so we decided to ask an expert in the field.
Our November speaker will be Dr. Agarwal-Hashmi, a clinician and researcher at Stanford University. Dr. Agarwal-Hashmi�s research experience began at the NIH, where she developed stem cell assays and in vivo models critical to understanding stem cell biology and its clinical implications. Upon moving to Children�s Hospital Medical Centre (CHMC) in Cincinnati, Dr. Agarwal-Hashmi established her research laboratory to further investigate the field of hematopoietic stem cells, specifically using umbilical cord blood. At CHMC, Dr. Hashmi also pioneered the clinical umbilical cord blood transplant program.
Please join us as Dr. Agarwal-Hashmi shares with us some of the exciting ways that stem cells are being used therapeutically today.
