UM: Stem Cell Research

By

The Detroit News reports that Sean Morrison, director of the University of Michigan’s Center for Stem Cell Biology and a vocal advocate in the 2008 campaign to lift the state’s ban on embryonic stem cell research, has been recruited to lead a pediatric research initiative at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. From the report: “A faculty member since 1999, Morrison is among several high-profile stem cell researchers to leave U-M in recent years. … Morrison’s wife, Dr. Theodora Ross, a U-M cancer researcher and clinician, also landed a faculty appointment at UT Southwestern Medical School, and will be part of the university’s Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center.” [Source]
