| Each semester, we ask members of our faculty to identify researchers from across the country to visit UW-Madison and speak at our weekly seminar series. Since the SCRMC provides a central point of contact, information and facilitation for all stem cell research activities on campus, we also want to bring together researchers from outside the University to help advance the center’s mission. This is to advance the science of stem cell biology and foster breakthroughs in regenerative medicine through faculty interactions, research support and education. |
