Human Embryonic Stem Cells for Predictive Toxicology – Video

(Part 3 of 4) Michael McMaster, PhD, spoke at a seminar about stem cell research and environmental health held on September 30, 2009 at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. McMaster summarized the challenges of predictive toxicology and described how he has applied human embryonic stem cells as a model system for studying the toxicological effects of nicotine. A similar approach could be used to assess the role of chemicals in the development of autism
