Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research Newsletter - 13 October 2008

The Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research (ASSCR) is proud to circulate their first newsletter. In this issue there is an overview of how the ASSCR started and has evolved. There is also a news section, with information about upcoming conferences and stem cell themed events, as well as the ASSCR conference in November.

The ASSCR welcomes input in future editions of their newsletter and hope that it becomes a mouth-piece for members interested or working in stem cell research in our region.
