Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

Stem Cells

Course - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY

Stem cells construct organs and tissues in development. They sustain tissues in the adult and restore them after injury. Because of these properties, isolating and manipulating stem cells has become a major new element in biomedical science. This workshop course will cover a series of biological subjects relating to stem cells and regenerative medicine. Topics will include embryology and development, reprogramming, degenerative disease, cancer stem cells, and human genetics.

This ten day-long discussion course will bring together leading researchers in the stem cell field with a small group of international students. The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with an opportunity to achieve an advanced understanding of the scientific and clinical importance of stem cells. A major aim of the workshop is to discuss in considerable detail the relationship between stem cells and disease. The significance of this relationship with respect to developing new approaches to treating and understanding human disease will be explored.

A key feature of the course is the easy access to the workshop leaders and the invited lecturers for informal discussion. The course will be held at the Laboratory’s Banbury Conference Center located on the north shore of Long Island. All participants stay within walking distance of the Center, close to tennis court, pool and private beach.
