Prof Shimon Slavin MD
Prof. Slavin is an Israeli professor of medicine. Dr. Slavin pioneered the use of immunotherapy mediated by allogeneic donor lymphocytes and innovative methods for stem cell transplantation for the cure of hematological malignancies and solid tumors, and using hematopoietic stem cells for the induction of transplantation tolerance to bone marrow and donor allografts. More recently, he’s been working on the use of multi-potent mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) for regenerative medicine for the treatment of neurological, systemic, and orthopedic disorders. Dr. Slavin is an author of 4 books, his basic research and clinically applied discoveries were represented in over 600 published articles and more than 900 national and international scientific presentations, which resulted in international impact in several different disciplines mostly related to cellular therapy for treatment of malignant and nonmalignant disorders. Immunotherapy of cancer by donor lymphocytes made it possible to treat otherwise resistant hematological malignancies and certain metastatic solid tumors in patients with multidrug resistant cancer. At present, Slavin operates his new clinic, Biotherapy International, The Center for Innovative Cancer Biotherapy & Regenerative Medicine in Tel Aviv, Israel.
