responsibility
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) task force has developed new Guidelines for the Clinical Translation of Stem Cells. Along with this comes a patient handbook. You can find them on the Homepage of the ISSCR or you can use the direct links below.
promote
The decision has been made:
Three junior scientist will be supported for five years by the Stem Cell Network NRW to set up their own research group. Joachim Goethert, Takashi Hiiragi and Wolfgang Wagner will be promoted with up to 250.000 Euros per year for their work at the University of Duisburg-Essen, at the Max Planck Institute for molecular Biomedicine and the RWTH Aachen.
Providing this funding for another 5 years the Ministry for Innovation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia strengthen its support for the Stem Cell Network. For further information please read the press release (in German language only).
discuss
The program of our last meeting has attracted more than 650 people. We want to tie up to this success: 5th International Meeting takes place March 24-25th in Aachen. Lectures and discussions as well as poster- and company presentations will enerate an excellent congress. Junior researchers will be selected as speakers in the program by their poster abstract. Best poster presentations will be awarded.

Research Map NRW:
Thanks to various research approaches, a wide spectrum of scientific research into adult and embryo stem cells is covered in North Rhine Westphalia (NRW). The Stem Cell Network includes research facilities in Aachen, Bielefeld, Bochum, Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Essen, Münster and Witten/Herdecke. In addition, work on ethical, legal and sociological aspects of stem cell research is being conducted by various faculties at universities in Bochum, Bonn, Cologne, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Hagen and Münster. For an overview of all these facilities, check out the Research Map NRW.

Dossier Provides Overview: The Current State of Stem Cell Research
How far will stem cell research be able to go in the USA or Japan? This and many other questions are being answered in the new “Stem Cell Research Dossier”. You will be able to get the current collection of legal regulations and regulation drafts as well as policy and reports both here and abroad, at the German Reference Center for Ethics in the Bio-sciences (DRZE) or at the Stem Cell Network offices.
