World-renowned stem cell researcher Irving Weissman speaks at Montana State University

What role do stem cells play in regenerative medicine and cancer? How can they act as rogue cells in disease? Pioneering stem cell researcher and Montana native Irving Weissman tackles these questions and more during a lecture Oct. 8, 2019, at Montana State University.

Weissman, a 1961 graduate of Montana State University, is the director of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine. In 1998, he became the first scientist to isolate stem cells and went on to make many seminal contributions to stem cell research, opening an entirely new area of scientific research and making possible novel life-saving therapies.
