Atanse To Present At World Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Congress

Belmont, MA, May 14, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​Atanse, Inc., a developer of advanced neurosurgical instruments, today announced that its Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Miles Cunningham, will present at the World Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Congress in London on May 20-22, 2015. Dr. Cunningham will provide an introduction to his research relating to the Intracerebral Microinjection Instrument (IMI), a direct injection device designed for the intracerebral delivery of stem cells, viral vectors, and other restorative therapeutics. Through the utilization of radial microcannula technology, the IMI enables precise therapeutic delivery in three dimensions while minimizing brain tissue trauma. Dr. Cunningham will also provide an overview of how the IMI is successfully being utilized in clinical research settings for therapeutic stem cell delivery.
