GSCN Podiumsdiskussion mit Ärzt*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen in ULM (DE)
15.9.2023 - 18:30 bis 21:00 Uhr im Club Orange in Ulm

Die Erforschung von Stammzellen liefert wichtige Erkenntnisse für die Medizin. Bei der Podiumsdiskussion berichten die eingeladenen Wissenschaftler*innen, welche Rolle fehlgeleitete Stammzellen bei Pankreaskrebs, Parkinson oder Schlaganfall spielen. Auf der anderen Seite lassen sich mithilfe der Stammzellen auch neue Therapien entwickeln: Man kann aus ihnen kleine Gewebestückchen und Organoide, sog. „Mini-Organe“, züchten und an diesen Medikamente auf ihre Wirkung testen oder sie als Ersatz für verloren gegangenes Gewebe verwenden.

Prof. Dr. Hartmut Geiger, Universität Ulm, Spezialist für Stammzellen und Alterung
Prof. Dr. Alex Kleger, Universitätsklinikum Ulm, Spezialist für Organoide und Pankreas-Stammzellen
Prof. Dr. Ana Martin-Villalba, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum DKFZ, Heidelberg, Spezialistin für neuronale Stammzellen
Prof. Dr. Katja Schenke-Layland, Universität Tübingen, Spezialistin für die Entwicklung von Gewebezüchtung / Biomaterialien
Moderation: Dr. Stefanie Seltmann, Biologin und Journalistin

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has published an updated 
Guide to Stem Cell Treatment
It is central to the society’s mission to share scientifically accurate information to inform patients and families about the current state of stem cell research and potential treatments. The ISSCR aims to further patient safety and public health through our efforts to promote legitimate stem cell research and credible stem cell treatments.
