Stem Cells

 
  December 06, 2011  
     
 
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
July 27- August 5, 2012


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.
