In this talk, you will learn about the science of stem cells, with a particular focus on the ones that populate the brain, Dr. Chiara Bertipagliawill present cutting edge research about major neurodevelopmental clinical conditions that are caused by defects in the process of brain stem cell division, and how stem cells could possibly be used as therapeutic treatment of human diseases.
