NEW YORK, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
NeoStem, Inc. (NYSE Amex: NBS), which is pioneering the pre-disease collection, processing and long-term
storage of adult stem cells for future medical needs, announced today that it will be presenting at the upcoming
2009 ROTH Capital China Conference in Miami, Florida.
NeoStem is developing a global network of adult stem cell collection centers to enable consumers to harvest and

Company's intellectual property portfolio includes an exclusive, worldwide license to VSEL(TM) Technology that

safely collected and stored and has been shown to have a multitude of beneficial characteristics for potential
therapeutic applications. The Company believes that its VSEL(TM) Technology provides a proprietary platform from
which to develop stem cell therapies and diagnostics to address the rapidly emerging field of regenerative
medicine.
NeoStem is building a stem cell technology base and establishing relationships with key business partners in the
U.S. and China to open the way to new markets, distribution channels and production capabilities in the
world's two largest markets. Dr. Robin Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NeoStem, will present the
