Davis, Calif. -
The new North American Veterinary Regenerative Medicine Association wants to recruit medicine researchers, stem cell biologists, and others with an interest in stem cell therapy.
The association was formed at the inaugural North American Veterinary Regenerative Medicine Conference March 5 to 6 at University of California Davis' Center for Equine Health, which drew 280 research scientists, veterinarians and physicians.
“[Our] goal is to facilitate scientific investigations with stem cells that are acquired from fat, bone-marrow and umbilical-cord sources, and to combine that knowledge with other regenerative medicine techniques that are designed to improve the health care of animals and humans alike,” says Sean Owens, a veterinary professor and director of UC Davis’ Regenerative Medicine Laboratory.
Membership information is available from Owens (sdowens@ucdavis.edu) or UC Davis Center for Equine Health director Gregory Ferraro (glferraro@ucdavis.edu).
