Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of Global hospitals, Hyderabad, it gives us a great pleasure to invite you to
symposium on “Advances in Cell Based Therapies”, on 13th November, 2010. We have
very eminent physicians and scientists from USA and India to share their knowledgebase
in this exciting scientific program. The theme of the meet is to understand the
immunological basis of cell transplants and also the impact of current non-invasive
technology on stem cell transplant fate. It is necessary to align ourselves to these
technological leaps, for an effective and meaningful adult stem cell transplant program.
We look forward to a great meeting.
Dr. PLN Kapardhi
Dr. Lakshmi Kiran Chelluri
