Australian scientists are concerned about the growing industry of "stem-cell tourism". The internet is filled with websites offering unproven and potentially risky stem cell therapies. Australians are forking out thousands of dollars and travelling to countries like India or China in the hope of treatment for paralysis, cancer, and other conditions.
It has been a highly active time at the Australian Stem Cell Centre.
In the past few months we have given presentations at high profile international conferences, published over a dozen papers, presented posters at various conferences…
ISSCR invites you to submit an abstract and participate in the ISSCR 7th Annual Meeting, July 8 – 11, 2009, in Barcelona, Spain. Don't miss the opportunity to share your science with researchers from around the world.
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), the world's leading professional organisation of stem cell researchers, has released new guidelines for the responsible development of safe and effective stem cell therapies for patients and an accompanying handbook for patients.
The ASCC is seeking a research assistant to join its small stem cell culture team at its Queensland Node. The full time role's key purpose is the culture of human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The postion will report to the Director of the ASCC's hESC laboratories.
The Goal of the 2008 World Stem Cell Report, published by the Genetics Policy Institute (GPI), is to provide a 360-degree view of the burgeoning stem cell field, including science, commercialisation, ethics and advocacy. As in last year’s report, it is dedicated to providing not only information, but actionable intelligence to readers.
Stem cell scientists from Australia and New Zealand were invited to speak and present posters at the ASSCR first annual scientific conference, including many associated researchers from the Australian Stem Cell Centre.
