The College of Medicine held the 7th Dr. Ernesto P. Namin Lecture Series on August 1 with Dr. Samuel Bernal as guest lecturer.

 

Bernal, professor emeritus of Medicine at UCLA and director of the Institute of Personalized Molecular Medicine at The Medical City, discussed the topic “Stem Cell Therapy: Boon or Bane” at the Santuario De La Salle.

In his presentation, Bernal pointed out the importance of stem cells and how the study of stem cells evolved.

He also added that stem cell treatment is appropriate for developing countries like the Philippines but cautioned everyone about the harm of some stem cells.
