I went to a morning session on stem cells on day 2 of the Society for Biomolecular Science meeting in Phoenix, a meeting focused on advancements in drug discovery and screening technology. After this, it’s all epigenetics.
Stephen Haggarty, Director of the Stanley Center Department of Chemical Neurology spoke on stem cells as genetically accurate disease models. The idea here is that you can take cells from a patient (and relatives) and use the clever trick first reported by Yamanaka et al. to convert skin fibroblast cells into stem cells, called …

I’m blogging from the Society for Biomolecular Sciences conference in Phoenix, the organizers were kind enough to offer two of us complimentary passes. I was surprised that the sessions were separated into disease area, technique, or ‘phenomenon’ (e.g., epigenetics) which seemed a bit curious as well, as I had expected the different types of assay technologies would have been the basis (e.g. HTS, Cell-based). It will be interesting to see how this changes if SBS merges with ALA. Nevertheless, I’ve been spending most of my time in the oncology session, …
