Symposium
The Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF is pleased to have presented the “2nd International Stem Cell Research Symposium: Frontiers of Neural Stem Cells”. This meeting was held over two days on Thursday, October 1st and Friday, October 2nd of 2009 at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center. The symposium highlighted recent progress in the neural stem cell field, as well as prospects for clinical applications. There were four scientific sessions covering themes related to the origin of neural stem cells, the role of stem and progenitor cells in building and repairing the brain, mechanisms for creating neurons and glial cells, and stem cell models of neurological disease. An agenda from the meeting can be found here.
