Join us for this discussion by a world-renowned expert in the area of
stem cell research. Dr. Weissman's research encompasses the phylogeny
and developmental biology of the cells that make up the blood-forming
and immune systems. In addition, the Weissman laboratory has
pioneered the study of the genes and proteins involved in cell
adhesion events required for lymphocyte homing to lymphoid organs in
vivo, either as a normal function or as events involved in malignant
leukemic metastases. Dr. Weissman has won countless prestigious
awards for his research and is well-known for his ability to present
his findings to a lay audience. Please join us for this interesting
talk from this engaging speaker!
