Description
Thank you for your interest in the Seventh NHLBI Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine Symposium taking place at the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland on September 27−28, 2017. Register Online!
The event will bring together experts in the field to examine the challenging and critical questions that require answers as the field moves forward to clinical applications. The Symposium’s goals are to help the science and field move forward, to find consensus regarding the translation of stem cell biology and research into a clinical setting, and to inspire participants in their own work.

International Participants
At this time, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has a high-tech registration system in place to fingerprint and photograph foreign visitors who are required to have visas as they enter through designated U.S. airports and seaports. Visitors with visas will be photographed and have their index fingers electronically fingerprinted or verified upon entering or exiting the U.S. The program will exempt permanent U.S. residents and foreign visitors from 36 countries who do not need visas to enter the US.
All Visa Waiver Program travelers must present a machine-readable passport at the U.S. port of entry to enter the U.S. without a visa; otherwise a U.S. visa is required.
