Stem Cell Seminars 2008 (SCS08)
Purpose and Scope
In parallel to the SCRT08 course, PABSELA organizers have set up a series of FREE Seminars open to the entire scientific community where PABSELA Faculty and selected Latin American investigators will convey their latest advances in the field. These talks will allow regional investigators to have first-hand information about the cutting-edge technology in stem cell biology which is being developed in the US.
IMPORTANT
Seminars are designed for people who CANNOT attend the Stem Cell Research Training course (SCRT08). In addition to the special Lectures and the daily interaction with Professors, SCRT08 students will be automatically accepted to attend the SCS08.
If you plan to attend to the full training course (which includes the laboratory activities) you MUST apply separately following the instructions provided on http://www.fundacioncrimson.org/program.php?p=16&subsec=application
Dates and places
PABSELA-SCS08 will take place in Fundación Instituto Leloir: Avenida Patricias Argentinas 435, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, C1405BWE Argentina on 09 and 10 MAY 2008. For map and directions click here.
Seminars Description
The Seminars are full-day activities, between 10am and 6:30pm with a maximum of six speakers each day, lunch time from 12 to 2pm and a coffee break between 4 and 4:30pm. Every 40-minute talk will be followed by 15 minutes of questions from participants. The official language of the Seminars is English and there will be no translation available.
Fees
There is NO fee for attending the Seminars. However, registration is required.
Registration
The attendance to SCS08 is open and free for anyone who wishes to know the latest developments in stem cell research. However the space is limited, therefore a registration is required.
