AMNH SciCafe Presents The Future of Stem Cells, 4/7

THE FUTURE OF STEM CELLS SciCafe at The American Museum of Natural History

WHAT SciCafe presents The Future of Stem Cells, featuring Dr. Kristin Baldwin of the Scripps Research Department of Cell Biology.

What if your cells could be engineered to grow your own replacement organs? Glimpse the future of medicine with Dr. Kristin Baldwin from the Scripps Research Department of Cell Biology as she discusses cutting-edge stem cell technologies and how they were made possible by the often-misunderstood science of cloning. Learn about Fibonacci, the first mouse to be grown from a single skin cell, and how "cloned" mice can help us learn how to safely harness stem cell technology to find new cures for disease and rejuvenate aged cells and tissues.

Surrounded by magnificent geological specimens in the David S. and Ruth L. Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, enjoy the Museum after hours with music, drinks, and thought-provoking conversation at this installment of the popular new SciCafe series at the American Museum of Natural History.
