International Symposium on Ethical Implications of Advanced Stem Cell Research

We are pleased to announce that the Aga Khan University and the Nova University, Lisbon, are co-hosting a Symposium entitled Stem Cell Science, Regenerative Medicine, Ethics and Society.

The acceleration of research in stem cells and regenerative medicine and its potential applications stands to offer hope for alleviating human suffering. At the same time, this growth is far outpacing our capacity to address the ethical issues and concerns raised by the ongoing research. However, despite ongoing debates and discussions there have been no no simple or uniform answers.

In the presente Symposium, an esteemed panel of experts in the fields of Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine, Theology, Law and Ethics will present, discuss and debate on issues and ongoing and anticipated advances in this field.

We would be honoured if you could join us on June 13, 2019, at Rectorate of NOVA University in Lisbon, to participate in this exciting and important symposium.
