A WORLD-RENOWNED Australian scientist is optimistic stem cell cures are on the way for some of the most dreadful illnesses.
Several promising clinical trials are taking place, says Professor Alan Trounson, who now heads California's multi-billion dollar stem cell agency.
He believes stem-cell cures for inherited blood disorders and HIV/AIDS are close.
"We are three, four, five years away," said Prof Trounson, who made the opening address to a NSW Stem Cell Network conference via video link on Friday.
