BioAlberta and Alberta Council of Technologies will cohost two public events designed to engage Albertans in a patient-focused dialogue to demystify  stem cell therapies.  The forums are designed to resolve three objectives:

1. increase public and patient awareness of stem cell therapies,  its implications on health care delivery and their potential in preventing and treating degenerative diseases;
    
2. establish Alberta's bio-tech sector as a world leader in the development of stem cell technologies; and
    
3. prepare Alberta for the early delivery of stem cell therapy.

A keynote presentation by Dr. Robert Burrell entitled "Realizing the Promise of Stem Cell Therapies in Alberta" will offer an introduction to stem cells and their potential for the treatment of degenerative disease highlighting the pathway and complexities of their development from discovery through to their application.
