After hosting a successful 2018 event, the AAOSCP has announced the dates for its 2019 Scientific Congress to be held May 3-5, 2019 in Miami.
The American Association of Stem Cell Physicians (AAOSCP) is an organization created to advance research and the development of therapeutics in regenerative medicine, including diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease related to or occurring within the human body. The goal of the AAOSCP is to serve as an educational resource for physicians, scientists, and the public in diseases that can be caused by physiological dysfunction that are ameliorable to medical treatment.
After hosting a successful 2018 summit from August 10 -12, 2018, the AAOSCP has released the location and dates for its 2019 event.
The AAOSCP’s 2019 event will be held at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami, Florida, from May 3-5, 2019.
The 2019 event will again feature three days of educational and social events with leading physicians and pioneers from across the stem cell and regenerative medicine spectrum.
As stated by the spokesperson for AAOSCP, A.J. Farshchian, MD, “The American Association of Stem Cell Physicians is solely committed to create an educational platform based on solid foundational research. Our goal is to enhance the quality of medical practice and the continued education of physicians. Currently, we are the most research oriented group representing academia, clinical researchers and physicians from around the world.”
Featured Presenters from the AAOSCP’s 2018 Summit
In total, the AAOSCP’s 2018 summit showcased more than 40 world-class speakers who are leading practitioners and researchers in the fields of stem cell therapy and science. In addition to these lectures, attendees met, attended workshops, and networked with doctors and scientists.
Featured talks included a presentation from Dr Ivonne Schulman, who presented her research on the mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular regenerative capacity of stem cells. Her laboratory at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine, is focused the effect of circulating factors and aging on stem cell growth and differentiation, as it relates to cardiovascular health.
Dr. Jeffrey Weiss, who performed the first retinal stem cell surgery in 2010, was another featured presenter. Dr. Weiss lectured on the use of stem cells for retinal regeneration, sharing his valuable expertise as the Principal Investigator of the Stem Cell Ophthalmology Treatment Study (SCOTS) evaluating the use of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells for the treatment of retinal and optic nerve damage. Dr. Weiss is chairman of the Regenerative Ophthalmology Committee, as well as AASCP Vice President and Vice Chairman of the Scientific Committee.
Other University of Miami researchers who presented at the 2018 event included:
- Dr Alfanso Sabater
- Ian White, Ph.D.
- Lee Kaplan, MD
- Randy Miller, MD
- Among several others
Renowned speakers from other institutions included:
- Diego Correa, M.D., Ph.D. – Dept. of Orthopaedics (Division of Sports Medicine) and the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
- Dr. Randy Miller – Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
- Ben Rawson, DO – Board-Certified Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation by ABPMR and AOBPMR
- – Medical Director, University of Miami Athletics and Miami Marlins, Director, UHealth Sports Medicine Institute

Features of the 2019 Symposium
To continue this momentum and enthusiasm, the AAOSCP’s 2019 event will again feature three days of educational events with leading physicians and pioneers in the fields of stem cells and regenerative medicine. It will facilitate an opportunity for attendees to meet, workshop, and network with one another.
The summit will also host two hour interactive workshops with small participant-to-instructor ratios and a customized curriculum with the goal to develop 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 model, as well as phantoms.
Physicians will have the opportunity to earn up to 24 CME credits.
Who Should Attend the 2019 AAOSCP Symposium?
For doctors and business owners, the event represents a unique opportunity to network, learn, and make connections while exploring new treatments and technologies.
For medical students, it represents an opportunity to connect with potential employers, as well as position yourself to be educated about groundbreaking treatments that could shift the medical landscape. As we often say here at BioInformant, “We aren’t made of drugs, we are made of cells.”
For other medical professionals, the 2019 event represents an opportunity to learn about transformative technologies and techniques while experiencing the sunny beaches of Miami, Florida.
