4th Annual Wisconsin Stem
Cell Symposium:
Cancer, Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells
BioPharmaceutical Technology Center,
Madison, WI
April 15, 2009
OVERVIEW: Coordinated by the
University of Wisconsin
Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center and BTCI, this
symposium brings together world leaders in the area of
cancer stem cells, and recruitment of tumor precursor cells.
The focus is on basic cellular and molecular mechanisms
that govern the cell growth potential of tumors, and whether
there is a relationship between the long-lived/immortal
cells of tumors and the long-lived/immortal cells of somatic
tissues.
Highlighted issues are:
- Breast cancer - is it a stem cell based disease?
- How do somatic stem cells relate to lung tumor
development?
- How do these systems compare to the rapidly
regenerating lineages such as the hematopoietic lineage?
- What do we need to know about stem cells to
understand brain tumors?
- Does this information need to be incorporated into
therapeutic strategies?

3rd Annual
Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium:
Conserved Mechanisms of Stem
Cell Control and Regeneration
BioPharmaceutical Technology Center,
Madison, WI
April 16, 2008
OVERVIEW:
Coordinated by the
UW Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center and
BTCI, this symposium brings together world leaders in
the area of stem cell regulation and tissue
regeneration. The focus is on basic molecular
mechanisms that are broadly conserved across species and
likely to be of clinical significance.
Highlighted issues are:
-
Chromatin and transcriptional stem cell controls
-
Stem Cell controls in the embryo
-
Stem cells and cancer
-
Molecular controls of regeneration
