Kurzbeschreibung: This two-week lecture course will bring together leading researchers in the stem cell field with a small group of international students. Stem cells construct organs in development. They sustain tissues in the adult and restore them after injury. Because of these properties, isolating and manipulating stem cells has become a major new element in biomedical science. This lecture and discussion course will cover a series of subjects including: the cells of the early embryo, the nature of germ cells, the mechanisms that control the number of stem cells, their stability and transformation into other cell types. The clinical potential and political impact of stem cell technology will also be presented in depth by invited speakers. A key feature of the course is the easy access to the instructors and the invited lecturers for informal discussion. The purpose of the course is to provide participants with an opportunity to achieve an advanced understanding of the scientific and clinical importance of stem cells.

The course will be held at the Laboratory’s Banbury Conference Center located on the north shore of Long Island. All participants stay within walking distance of the Center, close to tennis court, pool and private beach.
