Dr. Riam Shammaa is a physician, scientist and an author working at the frontier of stem cells, regenerative medicine, cancer cell therapy, and artificial intelligence in medicine. His work spans the full arc of medical innovation—from treating patients and conducting clinical research to developing new cell therapies and technologies.
Dr. Shammaa is also a committed patient advocate. He believes patients should have the right to access their own stem cells when supported by science and delivered safely and ethically. Central to that belief is that patients should be active participants in decisions about their own care, with regulation protecting them rather than unfairly restricting their choices without scientific evidence. His advocacy focuses on ensuring that responsible regulation protects patients without becoming a barrier to scientific progress and access to promising therapies and saving patients' lives.
