He also led the Stem Cell Summit at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association in Anaheim, California.

Dr. Bolli’s research focus has been on how to repair the heart and cure heart failure using a patient’s own stem cells. It is an approach that could revolutionize the treatment of heart disease.
