The exhibition runs through Sunday, Oct. 2.
Moderated by David Kessler, dean of UCSF School of Medicine and vice chancellor of medical affairs, the evening discussion featured distinguished stem cell researchers from UCSF, two of UCSF's Nobel laureates and visiting Nobel laureate Arvid Carlsson of Sweden.
