An interview with Irving Weissman at the 2010 ISSCR meeting. Interview by Eva Amsen.
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) held their annual conference in San Francisco this June. At the time, the President of the society was Irving Weissman, who is currently on the board of directors of the ISSCR as past President. He is Professor of Pathology and Developmental Biology and also the Director of the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he works on the generation of myeloid and lymphoid lineages from haematopoietic stem cells. At the ISSCR meeting, we asked Professor Weissman about his role on the board of directors of the ISSCR, and also about the meeting and the field of stem cell research in general.
