<div><font face="Trebuchet MS" color="#0000FF">Stem cell research has
become a hot topic in biomedical research for several reasons,
including: a change in federal funding policy, their enormous
potential in regenerative medicine, fundamental discoveries in
developmental biology, and their role in cancer progression and
metastasis. This workshop will highlight the role that biomedical
optics can play in imaging, tracking, measuring and destroying various
classes of stem cell.</font></div>
