Terribly saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Pete Coffey. Pete was a true pioneer in regenerative medicine, overcoming many challenges to develop a cell therapy for age-related macular degeneration. A greatly under-rated scientist and a genuine down to earth person.

Reminder: deadline to apply for the Stem Cell Summer School is 30th May. And it's May already! So you have to apply this month!

A limited number of bursaries are available.

p.s. this year, the summer school coincides with the Spetses Armata Festival, so there will be a big party on the island 🙂
