On October fourth, the Texas Heart Institute and Rice University’s Baker Institute for Health and Biosciences will host a panel discussion on Texas H.B. 810, or “Charlie’s Law,” which was passed in the 85th Texas Legislative Session. Charlie’s Law expands the right-to-try laws in Texas so that patients with chronic and terminal illnesses can have access to experimental stem cell interventions. The Panelists will discuss how Charlie’s Law will affect research and health care as well as how to protect patients moving forward.
