Brief
Dr. Peter Andrews, co-director of the Centre for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield in England, will speak at the next New Perspectives in Science seminar on Friday, March 31, at 2 p.m. in Pelton Auditorium. His presentation, "Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Self Renewal, Culture Adaptation and Cancer," is the first of three presentations in the seminar series this spring. The seminar program is designed to augment and enhance the Center's regular division-specific seminar programs, said Dr. Julie Overbaugh, Human Biology Division.
While the seminars are open to all, the content is often scientifically technical. Dr. Linda Buck of the Basic Sciences Division will speak at the second seminar on May 11, followed by Dr. Thomas Cech on June 22.
