MIAMI, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --An FDA Safety Panel discussion will be held virtually by the American Academy of Stem Cell Physicians (AASCP) Aug.1-3, 2020, with guest speakerFDA Director Dr. Peter Marks. This is a highly anticipated session which will discuss the growing safety concerns of the industry.

The AASCP has recently created guidelines thatare current safety recommendations given to physicians who are using biologics in their medical practice. A highly anticipated and sought-after Safety StandardsPanel session will be hosted VIRTUALLY by AASCP on Aug. 1-3. 2020; guest of honor isDr. Peter Marks, FDA Director of CBER. The sessions normally are closed to the public but this particular SafetyStandard Panel discussion will be open and free to the public, covering the growing safety concerns of the industry.

The Safetypanel discussion will discuss advancements in development, manufacturing and delivery of safe and effective regenerative cell therapies through policy development, consensus and advocacy. The Safety Panel discussion willbringtogether experts and stakeholders to gain consensus on and advocate for policies that will advance the science and the field, including those focused on promoting clinical research, assuring the adoption of consensus standards to promote safety and quality, building capacity and expertise within the workforce, and establishing a national outcomes database to advance the science, promote improvements in quality and safety, and inform regulatory and patient decision-making.

According to AASCP, if physicians are using biologics in their practice, whether they are using SVF, PRP, bone marrow, UCB, amniotic products, exosomes, xenograftsor peptides, there are key considerations to take into account to achieve the best safety for their patients. The AASCP also recommends communication with the Chief Scientific Officer from the laboratory they work with. AASCP advises that just talking to a sales agent is not sufficient enough when determining the quality of products for their patients. Sales agents typically do not have a medical or scientific background.

The President for the AASCP, Dr. Martin Dayton,said earlier: "The American Academy of Stem Cell Physicians is a group of physicians, scientists and researchers who collectively represent the most authoritativenon-federal group advocating for guidelines and education on stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine. AASCP members are experts within all fields of stem cell therapy fromSVF, BM, UCB, Exosomes, Peptides, Xenografts, Allografts and Amniotic Fluids and are considered the most experienced leaders for proper advocacy in the field. The AASCP is involved directly with other authorities within the field and seeks only to bring knowledge and awareness for the ever-growing regenerative medicine industry.My hope is that the SafetyPanel discussion on Aug. 1-3, 2020, is to help get rid of the bad actors that are damaging the field for everyone."

The importance of this virtual conference coincides with the ever-emerging growthof the globalregenerative medicine marketwhich is expected to reachUSD 79.8 billionby 2024, at aCAGR of 20.5%from 2018 to 2024. Factors driving the growth of the market areincreasing prevalence of degenerative and chronic diseases, technological advancements in nanotechnology, bioengineering and stem cell therapy, and increasing geriatric population across the globe.TheAASCP virtual meeting is set for Aug. 1, 2020.List of speakers is available at http://www.aascp.net.

Due to COVID-19, the meeting will take place virtually.Thisis an effective way to ensure that everyone that wishes to participate, but cannot travel, can. Students, educators and physicians will not have to miss out on all the important topics that AASCP has on the pipeline.

Virtual Workshop Lecturers will virtually demonstrate their techniques live via their professional locations. These virtualinteractive workshops will feature small participant-to-instructor ratios with a customized curriculum focusing on developing hands-on skills. Each technique will be taught by experts in the field, using didactic sessions with dynamic multimedia presentations, live demonstrations and scanning on live models, as well as phantoms.

AASCP spokesmanDr. A.J.Farshchianexplains, "We will duplicate everything we did in our past meetings such as offer CME credits, have lectures, workshops, discuss FDA safety standards, have board examinations and a virtual graduation ceremony.
