This week UGACRs are happy to have Dr. Steven Stice speaking with us about stem cell research.
Dr. Stice is currently the director of the University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center as well as a professor of animal science in the UGA College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences.
Throughout his career he has published and lectured internationally on animal cloning and stem cells as reported on in the NY Times, USA Today, Time Magazine, CBS, NBC and ABC News broadcasts. In 2001, three of the human embryonic stem cell lines that Stice and BresaGen Inc. derived were approved for federal funding by President George W. Bush.
Prior to joining the University of Georgia, Stice was a co-founder and chief scientific officer at Advanced Cell Technology, Inc., a stem cell company that is currently in clinical trials for a rare disease affecting sight. His current research is to understand the mechanisms involved in human embryonic stem cell differentiation.
This meeting will be held this Thursday, March 31st, at 7:00pm in MLC 150.
This should be a very informative meeting, hope to see you there
