Poster 2009

Alice Statler Auditorium
Cornell University
Ithaca, New York

Registration Deadline: September 1, 2009

REGISTRATION FORM

The annual Cornell University Stem Cell Symposium is intended to stimulate exchange of experience with researchers outside of Cornell, enhance interactions within Cornell, and promote education in stem cell research. These goals are accomplished through presentations by distinguished invited speakers from various avenues of stem cell research and by poster presentations by graduate students and post-docs. The annual symposium is open to all Cornell faculty and members of their laboratories including institutions participating in the Stem Cell Consortium Development (Yale Stem Cell Center, The Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, USC, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) free of charge. The cost of admission for researchers from other institutions is $10. Online registration prior to deadline is required and total number of participants is limited to 200 people.
