MEMBERS

SNAP is a newly established group with core objectives of fostering opportunities for young scientists, establishing deeper collaborations across scientists in the region, and providing an authoritative source of information to the public.

It is currently directed by a Steering Committee with one member from each of the eight members. 

The network will also seek to increase visibility of its members' stem cell labs and research achievements through its website. Within the region, SNAP will be able to serve as an authoritative source of information on the promise and the present-day reality of clinical applications for stem cell research

Initial activities will focus on the holding of workshops and training programs on stem cell research and related areas, such as clinical applications, commercialisation issues and best practices for GMP facilities for cell processing and banking. Additional issues and activities will be addressed such as methods for the culture and differentiation of human ES cells and the induction of pluripotency.

A SNAP steering committee is now soliciting workshop proposals. If you have would like information on becoming a member, having your lab listed or getting involved with workshops please contact us.
