Coming Up Next... “Stem Cell Biology -- A Key to Regenerative Medicine” Evan Y. Snyder, M.D., Ph.D. Thursday, August 5, 2010 La Jolla Country Club 7301 High Avenue, La Jolla Dr. Evan Snyder serves as Program Director and Professor of Stem Cells and Regenerative Biology at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. Dr. Snyder believes the study of stem cell biology will provide insights into many areas: developmental biology, homeostasis in the normal adult, and recovery from injury. He has engaged in a multidisciplinary approach, simultaneously exploring the basic biology of stem cells, their role throughout the lifetime of an individual, as well as their therapeutic potential. Taken together, these bodies of knowledge will glean the greatest benefit for scientists and, most importantly, for patients. Stem cells offer an intriguing mix of controversy, discovery, and hope -- join us for lunch and this cutting edge lecture!
