Clinical Trials in Pulmonary Hypertension | Part 5 of 5

Duncan Stewart M.D.
Biotechnology Lecture Series 2009

Duncan Stewart MD, a clinical trial expert and a clinical trial patient Stem cell research offers the hope to cure or alleviate many of today's most devastating diseases. However the path to a cure involves many steps, one of which is the completion of clinical trials. Join us for a panel discussion focusing on stem cell clinical trials and considerations doctors and patients must keep in mind. Dr Duncan Stewart, a clinician scientist and scientific director of the Ottawa Health Research Institute, will present his research on Pulmonary Hypertension, and share the results of a clinical trial for Pulmonary Hypertension using genetically modified autologous stem cells. Dr Stewart's presentation will be complemented by the participation of a clinical trial specialist who will tell us more about patient consideration for clinical trial participation, and a patient with Pulmonary Hypertension who will give us the patient's perspective on being involved in a clinical trial.
