Cellular therapy: Responding to COVID-19

Timestamps:

00:00 Intro

00:58 How is cellular therapy contributing to the COVID effort?

04:42 Can you give us a little bit of an introduction about what’s so important about the cell (mesenchymal stem cell) or where it comes from?

08:19 What sort of work are you and your lab doing for patient care?

11:14 Once you figure out a successful cellular therapy, is there then opportunity for that to get brought to scale for a given patient population, or does cellular therapy need to exist as a very individualized treatment?

13:48 For our listeners who might be students or other clinicians or laboratory medicine folks, how can they get involved in cellular therapy or how do you recommend those first steps to learn more about this field and how they might intersect with it?

15:50 Outro
