Event Description : "Stem Cells: Myths and Realities" a talk by Dr. Jyotsna Dhawan as part of Science And Technology Lectures Series.

In the past two decades, much progress has been made in understanding the properties of stem cells from a variety of sources, but much remains to be done before stem cells can be used therapeutically. This lecture will briefly cover the current understanding of stem cell biology and address the hurdles that need to be overcome for their clinical use. The lecture will also  highlight examples of the myths and realities of stem cell applications, touch on the regulatory issues required to ensure their ethical application and hopefully convey some of the excitement in the field of stem cell  science.

Speaker : Dr. Jyotsna Dhawan, Group Leader (Scientist F), CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad and Visiting Senior Professor, DBT Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (in Stem), National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore.

Chair :  Dr. Anna George, National Institute of Immunology
