Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Frontiers in Basic Research and Generation of Cell Technologies (Symposium and Advanced Training Course on Problems of Human Embryonic Stem Cells)

摘要

Symposium and training course for specialization in the area of embryonic stem (ES) cells were held in the Pittsburgh Development Center of Mageee-Womens Research Institute, USA, on May 6-23, 2004. The main aim of this course supported by NIH is preparation of qualified specialists for development of fundamental studies and biomedical technologies on the basis of human ES cells. Organization of an international community of scientists, whose efforts are directed at deep and comprehensive investigation of the lines of human ES cells and generation of new original approaches and concepts, becomes an urgent task for development and clinical introduction of effective cell technologies.
