Estimada Silvia, 
En Harvard Medical International estamos organizando un curso de Stem Cells en Buenos Aires en donde participaran varios de los investigadores que estan liderando este tipo de investigaciones en EEUU. Tambien participan investigadores de America Latina. Creo que es una excelente oportunidad para que los investigadores argentinos tengan un espacio para que interaccionen con sus pares de otros paises.
Habra un curso con tres actividades de laboratorio para un maximo de 25 jovenes investigadores y Seminarios abiertos a toda la comunidad cientifica. Todas las actividades se realizaran en la Fundacion Instituto Leloir.

Te pido si por favor podes darle difusion entre tus colegas (nos gustaria incluir chicos de Fisica con interes en ciencias biologicas) y alientes a los jovenes finsicos a inscribirse en el curso. Nosotros nos encargamos de TODOS los gastos de los inscriptos que sean seleccionados siempre que estos provengan de universidades publicas y centros dependientes del CONICET y organismos similares. Tambien esperamos que haya muchos inscriptos del interior del pais.

Cualquier pregunta que tengas, no dudes en contactarme.

Muchisimas gracias!

Miguel.

                 Dear Colleague:

                    Harvard Medical International, Fundacion Instituto Leloir, and Fundacion Crimson have developed a series of innovative training programs in the Biomedical Sciences field. Today, we are inviting you to participate in our Program for the Advancement of Biomedical Sciences Education in Latin America (PABSELA). The first training course will focus on Stem Cell Research and will be held at Fundacion Instituto Leloir, Buenos Aires, Argentina between 28 May and 10 June 2007.

                    PABSELA-SCRT07 is a 15-day intensive lecture and laboratory course on stem cell biology for 20-25 young investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty/scientists) in the biomedical sciences from Latin American countries.

                    Lectures will provide the conceptual basis for contemporary research in identification, isolation, and differentiation of embryonic and adult stem cells, while the laboratories will provide extensive hands-on training in up-to-date techniques essential for stem cell research.

                    In parallel to the SCRT07 course, there will be a series of Seminars open to the entire scientific community where selected investigators from the Americas will convey their latest advances in the field.
