- Pluripotent Stem Cells in Translation: Early Decisions: The National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration are collaborating on a series of workshops on moving pluripotent stem cell therapies into the clinic. The first two day workshop, "Pluripotent Cells in Translation: Early Decisions," was held on March 21 and 22 at Lister Hill Auditorium on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
- The first day (Videocast) covered pluripotency and its challenges, sources of pluripotent cells, and stem cell banks;
- the second day (Videocast) covered making pluripotent stem cells into a product, product characterization, and emerging technologies.
The meeting included participants from industry, academic and clinical scientists, the FDA, and the NIH. (April 1, 2011)
