@calleymeans Give them the ability to go after and shut down predatory stem cell clinics using minimally manipulated stem cells on unwitting patients spending their life savings on junk science.

Choosing public cord blood banking over private not only saves you costs but also extends the gift of life to those who may otherwise go without. Let's join together for a healthier, more compassionate future! #CordBlood #Donation

Exciting news! Starting today, I'll be joining #BeTheMatch as their Senior Scientific Advisor for Customer Ready Products. It's an opportunity to contribute to a cause close to my heart - bridging the gap between research and patient care. #NewRole https://t.co/ztZKshmn7S

The greatest potential in #biotechnology is its capacity to individualize therapies for patients. Anything that helps us categorize how certain tumors will react is something that could save lives. #CancerTreatment #Biotech

[Nature Biotechnology @NatureBiotech]

Tumors are rife with bacteria and fungi. Their ubiquity is proving useful in detecting cancers, categorizing them, and even determining whether certain interventions will work https://t.co/abuFMr7WSM

Many are skeptical about the merits of #GeneEditing in #healthcare. This article introduces an important point: that it’s not new at all.
The morality doesn’t lie in innovation’s existence but how we choose to use it. @GeneticLiteracy https://t.co/zxhwuTQih8

[Christina Leonhard Melief, Ph.D. @ChristinaMelief]

This new tech predicts problems and develops unique protocols, not an average based on many diverse patient profiles. Advances in #AI and #ML will enable personalized medicine to become a reality, with individualized treatment plans. #PrecisionMedicine https://t.co/hCDcalxDuO

[Christina Leonhard Melief, Ph.D. @ChristinaMelief]

@DrPamOliver Supportive care medicine is a growing trend in the healthcare industry, which focuses on the patient’s full physical and emotional health. So glad to see physicians acknowledging and stewarding the patient experience.

[Christina Leonhard Melief, Ph.D. @ChristinaMelief]

This #ClinicalTrial study shows that cell therapy is not only able to help treat #MS, but could potentially slow its progression. I am convinced this is the future of #PersonalizedMedicine. An exciting development in the fight against #ChronicConditions. https://t.co/xkyqO8LEz7
