I have been to CNS conference many times. This is looking more like an industry sponsored symposium. Likely NWBO paying for the 10 minute slot. You will notice that most sessions seem to have title as the name of the medical device company. And the person presenting is the surgeon closely linked to the company’s clinical trial (as a PI or co PI) or innovation.

I know two of the surgeons presenting during that symposium. Just like Dr. Ashkan, Dr Sameer Sheth has been doing phenomenal work with Parkinson’s and movement disorders patients.

CNS is primarily a conference attracting medical device companies such as Medtronic, Zimmer, Stryker, etc. I haven’t seen any big pharma there except maybe Merck once or twice, if I remember correctly. It’s a bit strange that NWBO is using this conference to talk about personalized immunotherapy (provided it’s sponsored by NWBO). Either way, it’s great that LL continues to support NWBO.
