Calendar

The Oregon Stem Cell Center offers seminars during the year. We invite outstanding researchers in the area of stem cell biology to share their work with us and meet with the faculty working on stem cell biology and cell therapy at OHSU. The seminars will be held on Wednesday afternoon from 4pm-5pm in Vollum M1441 @ OHSU. We hope to hold at least 7-8 seminars during the academic year. The schedule is as follows:
