Advances in Research: Stem Cells
Bio Online's Interactive Live Chat Event
Wednesday, August 23, 5-6pm PT
Scientists have made great strides in the last several years toward understanding how organs and tissues are generated and maintained. Much of this progress results from studies of embryonic and adult stem cells. Stem cells are characterized by the ability to self-renew indefinitely and the capacity to turn into specialized cell types and tissues given the appropriate environmental cues. The potential use of stem cells as a source of cells or tissue for regenerative medicine has captured the attention of both biomedical researchers and the public.
For Bio Online's next Chat Event we have assembled a panel of renowned scientists to share their perspectives on this exciting area of research and answer questions from the online audience. Please join us!
Panelists:
Evan Y. Snyder , M.D., Ph.D., Children's Hospital,Boston, Assistant Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School
Annemarie B. Moseley , M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Osiris Therapeutics, Inc.
John McDonald , M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Neurology & Neurological Surgery, Washington University
