Track 22: Stem Cells in Drug Development
Stem cells are valuable for drug development as they can create disease models for screening different cell types, leading to safer and more effective medications. They allow researchers to identify potential drug targets and tailor treatments based on individual cellular responses. This approach enables personalized medicine, where therapies are better suited to a patient’s unique needs.
