1st Annual Regenerative Medicine Symposium at USYD
Thursday 1 October, 2009
Kerry Packer Auditorium, Sydney University
Cost: Free for Sydney University staff and students (others $80 / $30-stud)

Sydney University has been gaining strength in stem cell research in recent years. The purpose of this annual symposium is to bring together researchers from the Faculties of Medicine, Science, Law, Arts and Engineering and affiliated institutions who are working on stem cell related research topics. The event will not only provide an overview of all the stem cell work being undertaken at Sydney University, but it will provide an opportunity for forming new collaborative partnerships.
