What are stem cells, where do they come from and what can they do? Learn the answers to these questions and find out about PREMSTEM’s research using stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue.

Researchers in the PREMSTEM project are developing a new regenerative stem cell therapy to repair the brain damage caused by preterm birth, also known as encephalopathy of prematurity (EOP).

To celebrate World Prematurity Day 2021, Luc Zimmermann from EFCNI joins Fabiana Bacchini, Executive Director of the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation and a member of the PREMSTEM Patient/Consumer Advisory Board.
