Prof. Sidney Golub, a leading cancer researcher and bio-ethicist, will discuss
some of the most vexing -- and interesting -- issues in our times: the complex
clashes between bio-medical research and the body politic as played out around
stem cell research. He will explain what stem cells are, their potential for
curing disease, and why they are so controversial. Dr. Golub is chair of the
University of California-Irvine Human Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee.
He will be speaking Monday, Aug. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Congregation,
107 West Barcelona, Santa Fe.
Prof. Golub's research is currently focused on how science policy in the U.S.
impacts medical research.
"I am particularly concerned with how we make and implement policy on human
stem cells including embryonic and other pluripotent stem cells," he said.
"One aspect of this is exploring the differences between the states on stem
cell policy. A related interest focuses on how to promote ethical principles
within basic and translational research."
Golub's lecture is sponsored by Santa Fe's Inst. for Analytic Jounalism and
KSFR, community radio for Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. Although the
lecture is free, a $5 donation to benefit KSFR would be much appreciated.
