Transforming Regenerative Medicine: An Interdisciplinary Approach
A National Institutes of Health workshop on "Transforming Regenerative Medicine: An Interdisciplinary Approach" was held on May 19-20, 2008, in Bethesda, Maryland. The primary objective of this critical workshop was to bring together leaders in the multiple fields that constitute regenerative medicine to explore strategies for better coordinating biological knowledge, engineering technologies, and clinical needs, with resources, to promote transformation of regenerative medicine.

The final report from the workshop is now available at the link below.

Stem Cells in Predictive Toxicology
In July of 2008, CIRM organized a workshop in Berkeley, California to assess the current and potential use of stem cells in drug discovery and toxicity testing of environmental hazards. Scientists working in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, research universities and government research centers were invited to present their work and to discuss the potential impact of stem cells in predictive toxicology.
