Stem Cell Seminar
The Stem Cell Seminars bring scientists from all over the world to the forefront of regenerative medicine and emphasize the basic research and translational themes of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCSF. These seminars provide an opportunity for the UCSF community to learn about the work being done by prestigious researchers from other institutions, preview unpublished scientific results, initiate collaborations and build networks. The speakers who are invited to the series provide novel insights into stem cell functions, tissue development, and cell-based approaches to the treatment of diseases.
These seminars occur in-person and virtually on Zoom during the regular academic season.
This seminar series is currently sponsored by a generous gift from Mr. Jonah Platt.

Science Session & Happy Hour
This monthly event occurs every second Tuesday of the month and kicks off with research presentations by IRM postdoctoral scholars about their current research, followed by Q&A. Pizza and drinks aid the post-seminar discussions as we shift to the Rooftop Happy Hour. We serve the food and beverages on the rooftop terrace adjacent to the IRM Boardroom outside.
These sessions occur in person and virtually on Zoom every second Tuesday from 5 to 6:30 PM.
