Juan Carlos Murillo is a commercial airline pilot who suffered spinal cord injuries in 4 separate areas of his spinal cord. Doctors told him that his injury was "complete" and that he would never walk again. After completing four rounds of stem cell treatments at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama, Juan Carlos is walking again, driving a car and has recently passed his commercial airline pilot physical examination

The extraordinary recent advances in human genetics and their potential to improve healthcare, together with the challenges they bring for the individual and society, was the subject of the first ever Oxford London Lecture, given by Professor Peter Donnelly. The new annual lecture, held in association with the Financial Times, aims to connect a wide audience with research emerging from the University, showing how that research is immediately relevant to topics of significant public importance.

The film Zeitgeist Moving Forward tackles the myth of "it's genetic." Several experts come to the conclusion that while some people may have a predisposition in their genetic trades for violence or cancer, ultimately it is the environment that is the deciding factor. Speakers are Robert Sapolsky, Gabor Mate, Richard Wilkinson and James Giligan http://www.youtube.com http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com http://www.thevenusproject.com

Cell therapies often rely on the delivery of cells, including stem/progenitor cells, gelled together using large quantities of polymer biomaterials to heal tissue or organ defects. This lecture will explore how polymer gels can accommodate the growth of cells, including stem/progenitor cells in the regeneration of tissues and organs. Jeremy Mao, Edward V.

The Ohio State University Center for personalized health care held its third national conference on Personalized Health Care, October 14-15, 2010. The theme of this year's conference was "Advancing Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory Medicine" Topics focus on the care delivery model, applications of genetics/genomics in clinical medicine, the latest breakthroughs in science and the challenges of making personalized health care a reality. The conference will bring together academic leaders, industry experts, government policy makers and healthcare providers from around the nation to discuss the latest developments in personalized medicine research and the challenges of translating these discoveries into clinical practice.
