My Stem Cell Summer: the Coming Revolution in Regenerative Medicine

UNCG Lecturer Randall Hayes spent 8 weeks at Wake Forest’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine, an anchor of the NSF Regional Engine, which is building out an ecosystem of research institutions and associated companies to place NC at the forefront of this rapidly growing industry worldwide.  The hype is sometimes overwhelming, and unlicensed treatments are potentially dangerous, but the promise of eventually being able to repair even post-mitotic structures like the brain is real.  Randall will talk about his experiences at WFIRM and opportunities for students and researchers from UNCG to participate.
