UPDATE: January 28, 2009 - Exclusive Lecture – New Stem Cell Technologies for Spinal Cord Repair: Making Gains without Pain
Lecture: New Stem Cell Technologies for Spinal Cord Repair: Making Gains without Pain (Dr. Stephen Davies, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Colorado, Denver School of Medicine)

Dr. Davies' research interests are primarily focused on investigating the molecular and cell biology of the traumatically injured adult central nervous system. His research team at UCDHSC is currently developing two, complementary approaches to repairing the injured adult CNS: 1.) suppression or removal of scar tissue to promote axon growth across sites of injury and 2.), development of neural precursor (stem cell-like) technologies to generate different types of central nervous system glia suitable for repairing the injured brain and spinal cord.

When: Wednesday, January 28, 2009
Time: Lecture begins at 5:30 p.m. (Doors open at 5:00 p.m.)
Where: Given Institute Auditorium link to Given Institute website
Cost: $20
