Singapore, Apr 6, 2009 - (ACN Newswire) - Dr Alan Colman, Executive Director of the Singapore Stem Cell Consortium (SSCC) and a renowned scientist who helped clone Dolly the sheep, will deliver the welcome address and a talk at the first Singapore-Germany Stem Cell Symposium, held at the Biopolis today. He will speak on one of the hottest fields in recent stem cell research induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)[1], and how they may be used to study the early pathology of several human diseases. iPSCs have gained much attention in recent years as an alternative source of pluripotent stem cells to human embryos, for use in research and potential therapeutics.
