...regain its place at the forefront of the revolutionary and controversial field.Yesterday, the University announced that Melton and Daley, now top officials at HSCI, will each lead a team of researchers in an attempt to use a process called Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) to create disease- and patient-specific stem cell lines from cloned embryos.The research was approved after more than two years of intensive ethical and scientific review by eight separate boards, said University Provost Steven E.

...realize that it too emphasized the lesson that leadership was not about standing above, but standing with.

Like so many other...

Just this week, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, formed under Summers’ leadership, announced its intention to trailblaze human embryo cloning research with the intention of creating disease- and patient-specific stem cell lines. With respect to globalization, Summers has helped effect considerable cultural change at Harvard. After years in which the conventional wisdom was that a semester spent away from Harvard was a lost semester, students have begun studying abroad in record numbers. Summers also helped establish a Chilean office...
