Dear All, As you may know, The Manitoba Neuroscience Network will be hosting Dr. Derek van der Kooy on Feb 22, 2013. He is currently a Professor at the Department of Medical Genetics. Dr. van der Kooy is one of the pioneers of the field of adult stem cells. His publications in the field of Neural stem cells, Retinal stem cells and pancreatic stem cells are published in top journals such as Cell, Science, Nature, Neuron,Development and J Neuroscience are highly cited. Dr. van der Kooy is also a great speaker and I will hope that you will try to attend his lecture on Feb 22, at noon, Room 626 in Regenerative Medicine.
I am trying to schedule his short day visit on Feb 22nd and therefore I am asking those interested in meeting him to contact me at eftekhar@cc.umanitoba.ca. We may have to arrange for group meetings if individual meetings are not possible. The meetings will be planned in a meting room in Regen Med for the sake of time.
Thank you for your time,
Regards
