Stem Cells
- 👤 Speaker: Prof Austin Smith, Cambridge Stem Cell Institute 🔗 Website
- 📅 Date & Time: Tuesday 02 December 2014, 20:00 - 21:15
- 📍 Venue: Department of Pharmacology Lecture Theatre, Tennis Court Road
Abstract
Professor Smith is the Director of the Welcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research and a pioneer in embryonic stem cell biology. As a leader in the field, he coordinated the European Commission EuroStemCell and EuroSyStem projects, is a Fellow of the Royal Society and won the prestigious Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine in 2010.
In the talk, he will discuss his current research on molecular determinants of pluripotency and multilineage commitment, with an aim to control the growth and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. This will allow insights into early human embryo development and exciting applications in drug discovery and regenerative medicine.
Everyone is welcome. Free for members, £2 on the door for non-members. Followed by refreshments (that means smoothies, cheese and grapes!).
Series This talk is part of the SciSoc – Cambridge University Scientific Society series.
