State of Stem Cell Advocacy 2008
Meral is proud to be among the sponsors of the State of Stem Cell Advocacy 2008 (SOSCA) on April 12-13, 2008. This conference will take place at the University of California, San Francisco at the Mission Bay Campus Community Center. Advocates will learn about recent progress towards cures in several disease areas, how key federal and state programs are funded, and what they can do to make their voices heard. This series of workshops will provide specific actions that patients and advocates can take to accelerate research and cures.
Kicking off the event is Robert Klein, who led the fight for Proposition 71. In November 2004 the successful passage of Proposition 71 created the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, granting $3 billion in research funding to California institutions. The conference will also feature Michael J. Fox, actor and advocate, and Brock Reeve, Executive Director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and brother of Meral's Colleague from Juilliard, the late Christopher Reeve.
