Ludhiana, February 17

SPS Apollo Hospitals invited Dr Samuel J.K. Abraham, director of Nichi-Center of Regenerative Medicine, yesterday to speak on "Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine". Dr Abraham is a pioneer in stem cell work in India and he brought many collaborations between Japan and India in the field.

The lecture was coordinated by King Regen Medicine, a part of King Multitech Global. Dr Abraham stressed that awareness was the first step and then focus should be given on therapies like autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation for spinal cord injury and immuno enhance therapy for cancer.
