Presentation Information
[II-SY6-1]Keynote Lecture : Cardiology Meets Stem Cells: A Translational Path to Precision Therapies
○Seema Mital (Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto)
Keywords:
Cardiomyopathy,induced pluripotent stem cells,precision therapy
This talk will describe the power of collaboration - between clinical and basic science, cardiology and stem cells – that enabled translation of genomic discovery into precision therapy for pediatric cardiomyopathy. It follows the full translational arc – from biobanking and genomic discovery to iPSC-based disease modeling, drug testing, and ultimately targeted drug trials.
