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.
