Interested in learning about stem cell science and medicine and what it means to you? A public meeting will be held Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine in La Jolla.

Heres more details from my earlier story.

Not only will researchers and a patient advocate with Parkinsons disease discuss the state of stem cell treatments, the public will be able to ask questions.

The Sanford Consortium building is located across the street from the Salk Institute. For those seeking a bite to eat before or after the event, the building also hosts a bistro, the Bella Vista Social Club and Cafe.

The video with this story shows Sandra Dillon describing how she regained stamina and energy after an experimental treatment that blocked cancer stem cells. While not a cure, the treatment reversed what appeared to be an inevitable downward progression.

Dillions doctor, physician-researcher Catriona Jamieson, will be one of the speakers at tomorrows event.

Ill be on site at the event, and will have a report(s) up tomorrow afternoon.
