Stem Cells and the Future of Medicine

There’s a lot of talk about the promise of stem cells, but do you really understand what’s getting researchers so excited?

Well, now’s your chance to learn from the man who literally wrote the book on it, Lawrence Goldstein, Director of UC San Diego’s Stem Cell Program, and author of Stem Cells for Dummies.

In “Stem Cells and the Future of Medicine,” the latest program from the Stein Institute for Research on Aging, Dr. Goldstein shares the basic principles of stem cells and examines the promise they offer and how they can be safely and effectively employed.

The show premieres tonight (Sept 13) at 8pm on UCSD-TV or you can just go ahead and watch it now online.
