STEM CELL TECHNOLOGIES

 
  November 14, 2007  
     
 


Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York USA
August 7 - 13, 2008


This week-long lecture course will bring together leading researchers in the stem cell field with a small group of international students. Stem cells construct organs 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 lecture and discussion course will cover a series of subjects including: the cells of the early embryo, the nature of germ cells, the mechanisms that control the number of stem cells, their stability and transformation into other cell types. The clinical potential and political impact of stem cell technology will also be presented in depth by invited speakers. A key feature of the course is the easy access to the instructors and the invited lecturers for informal discussion. The purpose of the course is to provide participants with an opportunity to achieve an advanced understanding of the scientific and clinical importance of stem cells.
