Meeting summary: 3rd UK Stem Cell Meeting, March 2 ...

Held at Regent's College, London, on March 11th, our 3rd Stem Cell meeting was a great success, attended by well over 200 delegates.

The conference on epigenetics and differentiation was organized by Ludovic Vallier (CIMR, University of Cambridge) and featured 10 invited speakers. The meeting also incorporated a poster session showing the work of 25 scientists in the areas of epigenetics, reprogramming, and development.
