Cottesloe Beach Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering Symposium November 6th, 2002 |  | There is tremendous recent interest in Stem cells, from embryonic and adult sources, for applications to Tissue Formation and Repair, Cell Therapies and Tissue Engineering. To bring together people in Western Australia with an interest in these topics, an informal Symposium was held on November 6th. See program below. The talks reflect the many strong WA research activities. The Symposium provided a relaxed casual venue for free exchange of ideas to strengthen collaborations and share resources related to such research within WA and beyond.
