Event

A case study of a stem cell therapy clinical trial for Fanconi Anemia

Hosted by the Stanford Alpha Clinic

Stanford Alpha Clinic's Education Working Group is pleased to announce our Second Annual Clinical Trial Bootcamp. Register now!

Join us for an informative afternoon with experts in the stem cell and gene therapy field. During this session participants can expect to:

  • Use a case study of a successful early phase stem cell therapy clinical program to underscore unique requirements for success;
  • Define the types of nonclinical data needed to support an investigational new drug (IND); 
  • Highlight requirements for a successful clinical protocol; 
  • Examine what it takes to develop a budget; 
  • Understand operations of an early phase clinical program; 

 

All are welcome to attend - our content will be intended for stem cell experts, RNs, NPs, and Postdocs. People with a keen interest in translational science are likely to enjoy and learn from this event.
