Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium

3rd Annual Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium:
Conserved Mechanisms of Stem Cell Control and Regeneration

BioPharmaceutical Technology Center, Madison, WI
April 16, 2008
 

 
 

BROCHURE


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
