WIRED SCIENCE: Stem Cell Explorer
On the pilot episode of the PBS series WIRED SCIENCE airing Wednesday, January 3, 2007, host Brian Unger interviews leading stem cell researcher Renee Reijo Pera, PhD, co-director of the UCSF Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Center and associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences. In 2004, California voters approved an initiative to allocate $3.5 billion over ten years to potentially life-saving stem cell research. The WIRED SCIENCE segment profiles a pioneering California scientist in one of the most promising but controversial areas of research.
