ISSCA Announces its 2020 Schedule of Regenerative Medicine Congresses
The group will host six events across the globe, combining networking and education for practitioners of regenerative medicine
MIAMI LAKES, Florida— The International Society for Stem Cell Application (ISSCA), a worldwide leader in regenerative medicine education, has announced its slate of 2020 medical congresses. The group’s calendar includes dates at six locations across the globe
Through its congresses, the ISSCA seeks to create a platform through which physicians can collaborate, share data, initiate discussions, and exchange information that may be directly translated to therapeutic applications. All doctors who want to share their medical research are welcome to attend, and the ISSCA welcomes abstract submissions and reviews them on a continuing basis.
For the second year straight, the main topic discussed at ISSCA’s congresses will be how cellular products derived from birth tissue (allogeneic compounds) have revolutionized the industry by delivering safer, shorter stem cells procedures for practitioners. During each event, lecturers will respond to concerns attendees have about how regenerative medicine advances will satisfy FDA regulations and how new technologies could continue to help patients under new FDA laws.
This year, the ISSCA welcomes three new cities to its agenda—Salvador de Bahia, Brazil; Punta del Este, Uruguay; and Jakarta, Indonesia. The six congresses are as follows:
- May 2020: Mexico City, Mexico
- June 2020: Caracas, Venezuela
- August 2020: Salvador de Bahia, Brazil
- October 2020: Buenos Aires, Argentina
- November 2020: Jakarta, Indonesia
- December 2020: Punta del Este, Uruguay
“We at the ISSCA are looking forward to this year’s calendar of congresses, which will provide invaluable networking and educational opportunities to physicians looking to expand their knowledge on current innovations and best practices concerning regenerative medicine,” noted Benito Novas, ISSCA VP of Public Relations. “Our global congresses expand on ISSCA’s mission to continue to serve as the premier educational resource for physicians across the globe looking to introduce stem cells treatments into their practices.”

ISSCA Offers New Online Cellular Therapy Course
With video lectures and additional tools from some of the most respected names in today’s stem cells field, the course arms practitioners with the necessary knowledge and resources to offer innovative regenerative medicine treatments in their existing practices
MIAMI LAKES, Florida— The International Society for Stem Cell Application (ISSCA) (www.issca.us) has announced it has launched a new online stem cells course, Cellular Therapy. The course adds to the group’s already existing robust offering of onsite and online courses designed to give physicians looking to incorporate regenerative medicine protocols into their practices the education and tools necessary to do so.
Regenerative medicine has been increasingly gaining attention in today’s fast-paced medical world. As more researchers and physicians become interested in studying the field and introducing treatment protocols into their practices, it can be difficult to know which products and practices yield the best results for patients seeking these treatments for relief from degenerative diseases, noted Benito Novas, ISSCA VP of Public Relations. Knowing which products work for which conditions and how to safely administer them to maximize results are key in leading a successful regenerative medicine practice.
With the Cellular Therapy course and others offered by the ISSCA, physicians will learn these valuable protocols and more about product offerings and how to choose the most effective ones. The Cellular Therapy course will prepare physicians with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge needed to effectively and safely secure better patient outcomes when using cellular therapies. With this training, physicians will gain knowledge from leading scientists in the field, learn valuable information on safety standards and quality control from top manufacturers, be positioned to perform these procedures and open a Stem Cell Center practice, join the ISSCA’s network, and enjoy the benefits of an exponentially growing industry worldwide.
Practitioners enrolling in the online course will gain access to online lectures from some of the leading names in the field of regenerative medicine spanning a number of topics critical to understanding the foundations of cellular therapy. In addition to online lectures, enrollees gain access to important supporting documents; The Condition Book, outlining stem cells treatment protocols for seven common conditions; and valuable case studies, all designed to deliver the knowledge needed to successfully implement stem cells treatments in a clinical setting.
And physicians looking to enroll in this course and other offerings by the ISSCA are in good hands. The group is widely considered as the global standard bearer when it comes to education and research in the regenerative medicine field. For years, the ISSCA has played a critical role in bridging the gap between the science behind stem cells and regenerative medicine and the practical application of that science in a clinical setting.
“We are pleased to add the online Cellular Therapy course to our growing number of course offerings designed to deliver the skills and education needed to practitioners eager to implement stem cells treatment protocols into their existing practices,” said Novas. “The course gives physicians the skills needed to utilize these highly effective treatments to help patients suffering from degenerative diseases while expanding on the ISSCA’s mission to continue to serve as the premier educational resource for physicians across the globe looking to introduce stem cells treatments into their practices.”

ISSCA Offers Stem Cells Certification at London’s Chandos House, a Royal Society of Medicine Partner
The intensive workshop to be held in the locale of one of the world’s most distinguished medical education providers
MIAMI LAKES, Florida— The International Society for Stem Cells Applications (ISSCA), a multi-disciplinary community of scientists and physicians collaborating to treat diseases and lessen human suffering through science, technology, and regenerative medicine, has announced a new stem cells certification workshop in London. The two-day workshop, will take place at London’s Chandos House. Chandos House is a partner of the Royal Society of Medicine, a global leader in postgraduate medical education.
With the workshop taking place in a prestigious locale for medical education, attendees can expect to network and learn from the industry’s most respected leaders. Physicians participating in the intensive two-day workshop will take advantage of expert reviews of stem cells biology, characterizations and regenerative properties of cells and cell products, cytokines, and growth factors.
Additionally, attendees will gain a clear understanding of laboratory processes in product validation, cryopreservation, and quality control. Facilitators will also discuss the regulatory landscape in detail with added sessions focusing on practice management and patient acquisition.
ISSCA is teaming up with London-based bioscience company Ludger (https://ludger.com) to provide expanded educational opportunities during the UK workshop. Ludger representatives will offer three additional learning sessions, adding to ISSCA’s traditional certification agenda. Ludger’s sessions include
- Chronic inflammation as a critical parameter in stem cells therapies
- Why biomarkers of acute inflammation cannot reliably measure chronic inflammation
- Glyhealth blood glycomics biomarkers for reliable measurement of CI
“To host one of our certification sessions in London in the shadows of the Royal Society of Medicine is an incredible honor,” said Benito Novas, Vice President of Public Relations for ISSCA. “We strive to offer innovative educational opportunities to practitioners in the regenerative medicine field, and we are excited to bring our renowned stem cells training certification to London’s medical community.”
