12-1pm ET (9-10am PT)
Today, innovations in organ and tissue regeneration technologies are poised to support healthy aging. In recent years we have seen multiple advancements in therapies capable of growing ectopic organs inside a patient’s body as well as using 3D printing techniques to create complex, functional tissue and organ-like structures from living cells. These applications build on discoveries in tissue and cellular regeneration that biomedical researchers in aging have helped advance.
To explore this unique intersection of cutting-edge technology and aging research, join the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) for a free webinar tailored for professionals in the scientific and entrepreneurial communities.
Experts from the geroscience and biotech sectors will discuss how these emerging technologies have the potential to revolutionize organ transplantation, drug testing, and regenerative medicine by enabling the creation of custom organs and tissues, while fostering new collaborations between academic researchers and biotech developers that can ultimately improve personalized medicine for everyone.
More speakers to be added. Stay tuned!
