The Stein Institute Presents: Stem Cells and the Future of Medicine
How stem cells are changing the way we think of medicine? What is the future of stem cell research? How stem cell medicine can change our lives?
Please join us for this month’s lecture as we welcome Dr. Lawrence Goldstein, who will present “Stem Cells and the Future of Medicine.” Dr. Goldstein is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine and Director of the UC San Diego Stem Cell Program.
Dr. Goldstein has had an active role in national science policy, having served on many public scientific advisory committees, in addition to serving as an expert commentator on the issue of stem cell research and biomedical research policy by print and broadcast media. He has testified on a number of occasions in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate about NIH funding and stem cell research. Dr. Goldstein also served as co-chair of the scientific advisory committee to the campaign for the Proposition 71 stem cell research initiative, which authorizes $3 billion in tax-free state bonds to fund stem cell research in California over 10 years. Public understanding will be considerably improved with his recent well received book, “Stem Cells for Dummies.”
