The Next Frontier in Stem Cell Research

From the creator

UCLA Life Sciences Public Lecture. March 16, 2011. The Next Frontier in Stem Cell Research. Dr. Amander Clarke. Amander Clark, an assistant professor of molecular, cell and developmental biology at UCLA, Clark's laboratory uses embryonic stem cells as a model to study molecular events critical for human embryo development, with a special emphasis on the human germ line. She and her research team currently lead the effort at UCLA to generate new embryonic stem cell lines, with a major goal being the generation of clinic-grade lines for use in future therapeutics. A member of the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center, Clark also is affiliated with UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Molecular Biology Institute and the Hinxton Group, an international consortium focused on stem cells, ethics and the law. She is associate editor for the journal BMC Developmental Biology, and a member of the American Society for Cancer Research and the International Society for Stem Cell Research, a nonprofit organization that fosters the exchange of stem cell research information.
