Regenerative Medicine: McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine

2008-12-28T20:11:38.330Z

Canada's McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine was established at University Health Network in 2003 with a generous donation from Rob and Cheryl McEwen, which they matched in 2006 with a second donation.

The McEwen Centre's vision is to be a world-renowned centre for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. To achieve this ambitious goal, the team of McEwen Investigators is working together to accelerate the development of more effective treatments for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and spinal cord injury. The McEwen Centre is based in the heart of Toronto's Discovery District at the MaRS Centre/Toronto Medical Discovery Tower.

Systems Biology: Craig Venter - On the verge of creating synthetic life

2008-09-27T17:04:38.706Z

"Can we create new life out of our digital universe?" asks Craig Venter, who was instrumental in decoding the human genome sequence. And his answer is, yes, and pretty soon. He walks the TED2008 audience through his latest research into "fourth-generation fuels" -- biologically created fuels with CO2 as their feedstock. His talk covers the details of creating brand-new chromosomes using digital technology, the reasons why we would want to do this, and the bioethics of synthetic life. A fascinating Q&A with TED's Chris Anderson follows (two words: suicide genes).

Regenerative Medicine - UCTV Historical Overview

2008-08-02T15:00:18.527Z

Dr Jane Maienschein of Arizona State University is a former Congressional Fellow and Senior Science Advisor. She debunks the common idea that stem cell science began in 1998 and maintains that stem cell science is actually nearly a century old. History may provide lessons for researchers and the public concerned about the social, political, and religious status of the embryo. Professor Maienschein's talk was part of UC Santa Barbara's popular New Visions of Nature, Science, and Religion initiative.
