13th Stem Cell Workshop
Stem Cell Therapies to the Clinic
Friday 9 April, 2010
Darlington Centre, Sydney University
Cost: $80 / $30-students

Which prospective stem cell therapies are closest to the clinic and what still needs to be achieved before these therapies are generally available to the public?

Stem cells have been around for fifty years with application to the clinic for a long time being restricted to haematological malignancies. With the creation of the first human embryonic stem cell line in 1998 by James Thompson at the University of Wisconsin, a new revolution in medical research began. It usually takes fifteen or more years after a new discovery before its actual use becomes obvious. It is now twelve years since the stem cell revolution began and the application of these cells to the clinic has started.

This workshop aims to cover the prospective uses of both the pluripotent stem cells and more novel applications of multipotent ones.
