During this presentation, you will hear from Dr. Shane Shapiro, a nationally recognized physician and the medical director of the regenerative medicine therapeutics program at the Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Shapiro will describe the current state of regenerative medicine applications available to patients in clinical practice at the moment. He will also debunk many of the myths and misleading information accompanying such treatments while highlighting legitimate progress in the field, such as the use of stem cells that may become available in the near future.

Dr. Shapiro joined the staff of Mayo Clinic in 2005 and holds the academic rank of assistant professor of orthopedic surgery.

A medical orthopedist with clinical and research experience, Dr. Shapiro specializes in the nonsurgical management of musculoskeletal injuries. He is dedicated to advancing the science of orthopedics and regenerative medicine through research and is the principal investigator of the world’s first randomized controlled study of bone marrow-derived stem cells to treat knee arthritis. The results of this clinical trial were published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
