There, Vice President Biden will give a speech to attendees of a conference on regenerative medicine, hosted by the Stem for Life Foundation and the Pontifical Council for Culture, according to the report. This year the event will focus on pediatric cancers, rare genetic diseases and diseases that develop with age, according to the Vatican. It will be attended by cell therapy scientists, physicians, patients, ethicists and government leaders, among others.

The stop is one of many made by Vice President Biden since the initiative launched this year.
