MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.
SanBio, Inc., a leader in regenerative cell therapies for neurological disorders, joins the Smithsonian Institution in recognizing Stanford University’s Dr. Gary Steinberg, chair of neurosurgery, for his pioneering research in the treatment of stroke patients. Steinberg received the Smithsonian’s prestigious American Ingenuity Award in Life Sciences for his unrelenting and unconventional approach to helping stroke patients regain motor function. Steinberg was the primary investigator in SanBio’s Phase 1/2a clinical trial in which stroke patients receiving SB623 demonstrated clinically significant improvement in motor function.
Said Dr. Damien Bates, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research at SanBio, “This well-deserved recognition of Dr. Steinberg’s exemplary career and ongoing research shines light on the potential of stem cell therapies like SB623 to treat patients suffering from chronic physical impairments following a stroke.”
Dr. Steinberg was honored in the Life Sciences category for his commitment to neurological research and stroke patients. He also received recognition in Smithsonian magazine.
