Who is the SCRMC GSA?
The Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center Graduate Student Association (SCRMC GSA) was initially founded in 2009 by a group of junior stem cell researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) and was previously known as the Wisconsin Stem Cell Roundtable (WiSCR).
Current Officers:
- Austin Feeney (Palecek Lab)
- James Rolland (Murphy and Palecek Lab)
- Fathima Shabnam (Palecek Lab)
- Soniya Tamhankar (Shusta and Palecek Lab)
- Melanie Staffenson (Shusta lab)
Goals:
- To provide a casual scientific forum to foster interaction, collaboration, dialogue, and support for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at UW–Madison in the SCRMC.
- To provide outreach to educate the public about current stem cell and regenerative medicine research.
