Saturday Morning Science: “How to Make Stem Cells Without Using Embryos”
Date : 14 February 2009 From : 10:30am To : 11:30am
Location : Monsanto Auditorium, Bond Life Sciences
Price : $ 0
The issue of embryonic stems cells has huge potential in regenerative medicine, but this innovative medicine is also riddled with ethical questions and boundaries as stem cells derive from early embryos. At this week’s Saturday Morning Science, MU scientist Mike Roberts will discuss recent methods that have developed to create powerful cell lines from skin cells. Come to this week’s Saturday Morning Science as Roberts will explain the importance of this new development and its value to biomedical research.
You don’t need to be a scientist to enjoy this free, one hour talk on Saturday, February 14th. All ages are welcome. Coffee and bagels are served at 10:00 am and talks start at 10:30 am in the Monsanto Auditorium, MU Life Sciences Center. For more information visit http://satscience.missouri.edu.
