A Revolution in Medicine: The Science Fueling a New Age of Cures


Listen Later

Join us to learn about scientific achievements that might give you and your loved ones access to transformational treatment options today or in the near future. 


Maybe you've heard about CRISPR gene editing or stem cell therapy in the headlines—now you can find out what these and other technologies really mean for you. Can you imagine if your cells could be taken from a simple blood draw, reprogrammed in a lab dish, then infused back into your body to cure heart disease, treat Alzheimer’s, or shrink a cancer tumor? Or if a simple infusion could rewrite your genetic code to cure a DNA-driven disease? These scenarios may sound like science fiction, but such advances are happening now—forever changing our perspective of disease. No longer must we accept a dire health condition; we have the tools and technology to actually solve it for good.


We encourage you to attend in-person so you can join us for a post-event wine and cheese reception, where you’ll have the chance to mingle with Dr. Deepak Srivastava and other world-recognized Gladstone scientists who are dedicated to overcoming disease.


Organizer: Robert Lee Kilpatrick
