Researchers and students of law, ethics, public policy, government, political science, and related arts and sciences are invited to present their work at the Poster Forum to be held at the World Stem Cell Summit, September 22-23, 2008, at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin.

This special poster session aims to provide the stem cell community with a forum for advancing this interaction. In light of varying legal, public policy and ethics regimes that have emerged around the world for the pursuit of stem cell science and regenerative medicine, there is particular interest in posters that cover convergences and divergences in these regimes, any attendant needs for harmonization, and strategies for addressing these needs.

Potential Topics:

  • Regulation of Drugs, Biologics and Medical Devices
  • Intellectual Property
  • Medical Ethics
  • Public Health
  • Developmental Biology
  • Collaborative Development of Medicines and Medical Technology
  • Public Private-Partnerships
Potential Candidates include professors of law, practicing lawyers, institutional review boards, representatives of government agencies such as FDA, EMEA and other counterparts, representatives from the insurance industry, representatives of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, representatives of industry, professors of medicine, physiology, biology or other relevant science, professors of business, leaders in non-profit organizations and of course, students.
