Stem Cell Journal Club

The Stem Cell Journal Club meets on the third Monday of each month (except January) at 5:00 pm in Amistad 112.  Food is provided and the atmosphere is intended to be informal. 

The format is for two speakers to present for about 30 minutes each.  Presentations may be either “Research in progress” talks or journal article presentations, but they should focus on some aspect of stem cell biology.  The topics include a mixture of basic science and translational presentations. The labs scheduled to present in 2009 through 2010 are as follows:
