PCMD-Royan Institute Webinar Series (Hybrid): “Perinatal Stem Cell Derivatives for the Regeneration of Spinal Cord Injury”

This is for the information of all concerned that under under PCMD-Royan Institute Webinar Series (hybrid), the first webinar entitled: “Perinatal Stem Cell Derivatives for the Regeneration of Spinal Cord Injury” will be conducted by Dr. Irfan Khan (Assistant Professor, PCMD). 

Dr. Khan is involved in regenerating cardiovascular injuries, their characterization and repair with stem cells, and their derivatives in form of cardiac progenitors. His focus area is to establish GMP for clinical-grade stem cells in Pakistan and to transform current basic stem cell research into translational medicine.  Future interests include direct differentiation and trans-differentiation of stem cells with help of chemicals, genetic and epigenetic modification to neurons, cardiomyocytes, insulin-secreting beta cells, and skin fibroblasts.

PCMD-Royan Institute Webinar Series (Hybrid) is jointly organized by Dr. Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research, Royan Institute, COMSTECH and Sindh Innovation, Research, and Education Network (SIREN).
