...Biology (HDRB) attracted just under 50 sophomores for its inaugural class of concentrators. The emergence of this concentration is the latest in a wider effort by the University to bring stem cell research to the forefront. It began six years ago when Professor Douglas A. Melton, while surveying the field of stem cell research, realized that bringing together some of the best minds in the subject would remove many of the barriers to collaboration. Thus, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) was founded. What began as committee meetings in the Holyoke Center evolved into a comprehensive team of scientists...
...Mammalian Brain,” Travis Roy came to the Biolabs to talk about hockey, his accident, and coping with the aftermath. As one of 250,000 Americans living with spinal cord injuries, Roy told the students that he could someday be treated by developments in the same field studied in the course...
...features of stem cell biology. I think that’s a very unusual teaching approach for undergraduates,” says Professor George Q. Daley of his course’s structure. “I think it’s going to be particularly effective in the field of stem cells which has so much medical relevance...
...look at something that no one else has looked at before, so they’re adding to the process that may be in the future be taught in the classroom.” That kind of change is to be expected in a fast-paced field. According to Melton, any new methods of experimentation could be incorporated in a course within a year...
Kraemer worked in Paola Arlotta’s lab on the differentiation of stem cells in the motor neurons of the spine this past summer, and she discovered her passion for a field that would actually matter for her. One day she would like to be able to help people with stem cell technology as a spinal orthopedic surgeon...
