As patient advocate for stem cell research and a local columnist I have just returned from the 2010 World Stem Cell Summit and was delighted to see UW's Dr. Tim Kamp and Jordana Lenon at this exciting world-wide conference. First I want to give a special thanks to Mr. Bernard Siegel, J.D., founder and director of the Genetics Policy Institute (GPI), and Mr. Alan Fernandez, Director of Development. Without their support my report below would not have been possible.
Dr. Kamp was one of the Summit's speakers and Ms. Lenon both made UW's stem cell science presence known via both staffing UW's Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine Center's booth, and also contributed a very comprehensive article to the 2010 World Stem Cell Report which described Wisconsin's stem cell science and technology and the unprecedented opportunities it now offers the world.
Presented in the U.S. Policy, Ethics and Science section of this Report, the article itself is both a fascinating and eye-opening story on the Wisconsin stem cell story to date from the first extracted embryonic stem cell accomplished right here in our own State of Wisconsin. This article is a "must read" for any Wisconsin stem cell advocate or supporting taxpayer in this state.
Since this event I was privileged to report in the Capital Times on both this World Stem Cell Summit in Detroit and on a new and exciting stem cell science research model which I hope and pray will hasten the translation of these miracle stem cell discovers to the chronic patient's bedside.
