Regenerative Medicine 101: Extracellular Vesicles (Exosomes) and Stem Cells - Single Course
.75 CME CREDITS – $65.00
Our bodies retain a robust ability to repair and regenerate throughout the entire course of our lives. Each and every day our bodies lose millions of cells, which must be constantly replenished from pools of stem cells lest we rapidly expire. Aging, chronic pain and chronic injury result from a progressive increase in the demand for stem cells while we experience a concurrent decline in stem cell availability and function. The symptoms of aging and the causes of pain can be treated with modern therapies derived from younger, allogeneic sources. Umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells and MSC-derived exosomes are a potent source of regenerative proteins and RNAs. They can be administered therapeutically in an off-the-shelf manner due to their immune privileged state and used effectively as a flowable allograft without pathological rejection. As we continue to develop these new perinatal products it is important to understand the foundational biology of these cells in order to innovate and utilize their potential in the safest and most effective ways.
*COMPLIANCE DISCLOSURE: AMMG has made every effort to have all lectures and statements made regarding Extracellular Vesicles comply with all FDA and State and Local laws. This is a science and knowledge based course, and Extracellular Vesicles is a new and potentially changing area of medicine. Currently Extracellular Vesicles can only be used in conjunction with an IRB with a FWA plus and IND/BLA, meaning FDA approval for a phase 1 clinical trial must be granted. We encourage you to frequently check for new policies, laws and rules which may apply to your practice and to strictly adhere to all laws which apply.

Ian White, Ph.D.
Dr. White is an expert in the field of regenerative medicine with 20 years’ experience working with cardiovascular biology, tissue regeneration and stem cell biology. Dr. White received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Liverpool University, England prior to being hired at Dartmouth College to study the genetics of gamete biology. In 2000, Dr. White was recruited to Harvard University to work with hematopoietic stem cells and immune cell biology under the mentorship of the world-renowned Dr. Laurie Glimcher, where he co-authored several peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts. Dr. White went on to receive his Ph.D. degree from the Ansary Stem Cell Institute of Cornell University under the guidance of Dr. Shahin Rafii. Following the completion of this Ph.D. work, Dr. White has spent time in the stem cell laboratory of Dr. Stephen Dalton, whose pioneering work led to the inclusion of c-myc as one of the four factors used by Nobel award winning Dr. Shinya Yamanaka in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Subsequently, Dr. White relocated to the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine. Dr. White published ground-breaking research in the field of regenerative medicine alongside Dr. Joshua Hare, including a book chapter on the use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSCs”) in Cardiology. In 2015, Dr. White’s work on the regeneration of the heart was featured on the cover of Circulation Research, one of the top peer-reviewed journals in the world for cardiovascular medicine. In 2016, Dr. White was honored with an award for the “Best Manuscript” by the American Heart Association for his work highlighting the role of peripheral nerves in cardiac regeneration. Dr. White has published extensively in the field of stem cell biology, clinical stem cell applications and regenerative medicine.
