Stem Cell and Nuclear Transfer Cloning workshop in Hungary completed
Next team of 15 young media makers had a meeting in Gödöllő, Hungary for The Stem Cell and Nuclear Transfer Cloning technologies workshop at BioTalentum. This is the second meeting in the framework of My Science Program. Study visit started on 25th and last till 29th January 2010. Workshop program can be found here. First part of photos from the meeting can be seen below. Some insights of the program can be found on My Science Twitter.
Participants
We are from the Netherlands, Slovenia, Czech Republic, UK, Spain, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Romania and Latvia!
Program
Dr. Andras Dinnyes gave the overview about Biotalentum and it’s research activities, spoke about ideas for communication of genetic research and ethical issues to the wider public and gave the background on Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (Cloning).
Dr. Andras Dinnyes introduced to Ethics and Animal Welfare Issues.
