Events
Every year, the Stem Cell Engineering Center welcomes six keynote speakers to Georgia Tech to discuss current advances in the stem cell engineering field. The center's mission is to cultivate researchers from the basic sciences along with investigators from various engineering disciplines to address key hurdles and technological challenges currently impeding the development of stem cell therapeutics and diagnostics. These seminars are open to all faculty or trainees interested in stem cell research. The SCEC seminar series speakers range from international stem cell academia to industry professionals and research scientists.
