Campus Stem Cell Laboratory Meetings
This event is held in the center of campus at the Genetics-Biotechnology Center, making it easy for all groups to attend. It currently attracts up to 60 students, post-doctoral fellows, staff and faculty each week. The structure is flexible and will encompass presentations of current research as well as discussion of relevant journal articles. A major goal is to maintain communication within the very diverse stem cell community at UW-Madison.
The meetings will be held on Tuesdays from noon to 1:00 P.M. in Room 1360 Biotechnology Center. Pizza and beverages will be served. Contact Sue Gilbert for more information or to be added to the Stem Cell Research mailing list.
This seminar series can also be taken for credit. It is listed as Anatomy 675: Special Topics in Developmental Biology. Intended for seniors and graduate students with prior consent of instructor. 1 credit is offered for attendance and participation in the Campus Stem Cell Lab meeting that meets weekly to hear presentations of current research as well as discussion of relevant journal articles. This is a 'topics' course so not sure if it will be offered again. Contact Clive Svendsen if interested in taking this for credit.
