Wisconsin Stem Cell Roundtable (WiSCR) – Welcome to Stem …

Posted: March 13, 2015 at 3:55 pm

The Wisconsin Stem Cell Roundtable (WiSCR) was founded in 2009 by a group of junior stem cell researchers at the University of WisconsinMadison (UWMadison). The goals of WiSCR are to provide a casual scientific forum to foster interaction, collaboration, dialogue, and support for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at UWMadison and also provide outreach to educate the public about stem cells and current research in the field.

WiSCR holds monthly meetings during which we either discuss current stem cell literature or have a member present their research. WiSCR also organizes and participates in various science outreach events in order to engage and educate both children and adults in Wisconsin about stem cell research.

If youre interested in being added to the WiSCR mailing list, please send an email to uwstemcellroundtable@gmail.com. This way you can receive notifications about upcoming meetings and outreach opportunities.

Where would stem cell research and outreach be today without Ka Yi Ling? Check it out here on the UW Graduate School website and learn more about the past President of WiSCR.

Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program, which aims to introduce talented undergraduate students to stem cell research with the help of a graduate student or postdoc mentor. To learn more about this exciting opportunity please see information for undergraduates [trainee application] or graduate students/post-doctorate fellows [mentoring application]. It will continue in the summer of 2014 but no details are available yet. Please keep watching this space for more information as we get it.
