Stem Cell Symposium to Draw Worldwide Audience to Connecticut

Posted on: Friday, 16 March 2007, 15:00 CDT

HARTFORD, Conn., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Registrations are running ahead of schedule, and it looks like StemCONN 07, the stem cell symposium in Hartford, Conn., March 27-28, will unfold before capacity crowds.

Launched in the wake of Connecticut's historic decision to support human stem cell research, the two-day event has attracted the biggest names in stem cell research from around the world.

The packed two-day program includes events touching all aspects of stem cell research, including scientific, commercial, political and ethical dimensions. Among the highlights:

* Connecticut's Governor Rell will open the proceedings. * Scientists who have received grants from the state will be on hand with posters explaining their work. * First-day panels will explore how the states are cooperating in the absence of strong federal leadership and attack the looming question of how soon commercial applications of stem cell research can be expected. The rise of ESCRO (Embryonic Stem Cell oversight) Committees and their role in the research process will be examined. * Second-day panels will report the latest scientific results from around the world. Details and registration for the symposium are at http://stemconn.org/ . Contact: Bill Kelly HarveyMalis Communications LLC 203-375-2696 bill@harveymalis.com
