Recap and videos from July 11 Research Institute Industry Event

The July 11 Private Research Industry Professional Development Event featured Micheal Yaffe of the California Institute from Regenerative Medicine. He gave a great seminar discussing how private research is funded, how an institute is organized, administered and operates using CIRM as a model, information regarding the various experiences and career paths of a few people in choosing a career at a research institute, plus an excellent overview of stem-cell related research as funded by CIRM. Dr. Yaffe also graciously met more informally with students following the event for further questions.

For those unable to attend, this seminar was recorded. The sound is a little low; please adjust the volume on your device as necessary.
