The Sacramento State STEM Scholars Public Lecture Series welcomes Dr. Diane Krause, a Yale Professor and leading authority in stem cell research. Her talk titled "The Future of Fighting Disease" will address new discoveries in regenerative medicine.

In 2001 Dr. Krause lead a team of researchers who discovered that adult stem cells taken from the bone marrow of mice can differentiate into epithelial cells for the repair of organs as diverse as liver, lung, and intestines. This research led to one of the first reports of marrow-derived stem cells contributing to tissue repair, which is now an exploding field.

This lecture is the first of four on regenerative medicine this academic year funded through a California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) grant in collaboration with the UC Davis Stem Cell Program.
