Mission
Created by the Stem for Life Foundation and the Vatican's
Pontifical Council for Culture, this exclusive international event
will gather the world's leading cell therapy scientists, physicians,
patient advocates, ethicists, philanthropists and leaders of faith and
government officials to discuss the latest cellular therapy breakthroughs
and hope for the future. Moderated by renowned journalists, the
2016 event will have a unique focus on pediatric cancers and rare
genetic diseases, as well as diseases, which occur with aging. We
will explore the future and how science, technology, information and
communication will allow us to personalize medical solutions and
remove inefficiencies, while reducing overall health care costs. We will
unite people of all races, religious beliefs, and cultural and economic
backgrounds in a global conversation about the healing potential of
cell therapy and the importance of delivering approved therapies to
people suffering with debilitating medical conditions worldwide.
Discuss and understand the importance of scientific advancements,
technology and data in the paradigm shift toward regenerative medicine,
with a particular focus on cellular therapies.
Unite people, without prejudice, to create an open dialogue about the
interconnections between cellular research, technology, faith and culture.
Foster an international conversation among researchers, physicians,
philanthropists, faith leaders and policymakers to bring cellular cures
to those in medical need and identify a pathway to help reduce human
suffering throughout the world.
Create global awareness and inspire the next generation about the vital
linkages between cellular sciences, technological innovation and data to
optimize health care at the patient level.
Catalyze the necessary funding to support the development of cell
therapies, which will cure and treat a broad range of debilitating diseases
and medical conditions.
Establish a global movement of cellular researchers, medical
practitioners, technological innovators and cultural and religious thought
leaders devoted to advancing the paradigm shift toward using cell therapy
to treat and cure diseases.
