Dr. Winer added, “I am honored to join the Advisory Board of Ernexa Therapeutics at such a pivotal moment. Ernexa’s focus on engineering induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into allogeneic iMSCs as off-the-shelf therapies reflects both scientific innovation and a deep commitment to patients. I look forward to contributing my experience in translational and clinical science to help guide Ernexa’s path from promising innovation to meaningful patient outcomes.”
