Stem Cells on the Mesa

Each year the La Jolla Torrey Pines Mesa region, a powerhouse of stem cell research, host the Stem Cells on the Mesa Meeting. With this region leading California in grants and funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, this event draws researchers and decision makers from the entire nation.
     
Hosted by the San Diego Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SDCRM) and managed by CONNECT and in partnership with The Science Network, this exclusive, invitation only, one-day symposium draws together San Diego’s pioneers responsible for advancing research towards discovering cures for debilitating diseases or injuries. It attracts cutting-edge scientists, life sciences business executives, and government officials. The aim is to explore the imminent scientific, ethical and business challenges facing stem cell research today. The program is designed around panel discussions that explore topics ranging from basic science and technologies to regulatory considerations.

Established in March 2006, SDCRM is comprised of UC San Diego, Burnham Institute for Medical Research, Salk Institute for Biological Studies and The Scripps Research Institute. The consortium marshals the intellectual resources of these four world leaders in life sciences research, bringing scientists from each institution together to conduct joint research and training programs in stem cell research.

"The scientific and medical opportunities provided by stem cell research are unprecedented and have the potential to revolutionize research that seeks to find improved treatments for the many terrible diseases for which we currently lack adequate therapies."
