Geoff MacKay, Chair, Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM); President & CEO, Organogenesis Inc. The 2013 Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa was a three-day conference, held October 14-16 in La Jolla, CA, and aimed at bringing together senior members of the regenerative medicine industry with the scientific research community to advance stem cell science into cures. The meeting featured a nationally recognized Scientific Symposium, attended by leading scientists and researchers, in conjunction with the industry's premier annual Regen Med Partnering Forum. Combined, these meetings attracted over 750 attendees from around the globe, fostering key partnerships through one-on-one meetings while also highlighting clinical and commercial progress in the field.

With age, cells accumulate stochastic and programmed changes to their DNA that can contribute to aging-associated cellular dysfunction, cancer or degenerative diseases. The impact of aging on endogenous adult stem cells or on induced pluripotent stem cells derived from adult tissues is poorly understood. This panel will address how genome changes brought on by age may impact stem cell function and genome stability. It will also address the challenges and opportunities for using pluripotent stem cells to model or treat aging associated diseases. Moderator: Adam Engler, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Bioengineering, UC San Diego Panelists: Irina Conboy, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Bioengineering, UC Berkeley Eros Lazzerini Denchi, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular & Experimental Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute Lawrence Goldstein, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, Departments of Cellular & Molecular Medicine & Neurosciences; Director, UC San Diego Stem Cell Program; Scientific Director, Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine

The sudden and tragic death of Duane Roth has deeply saddened everyone at CIRM. Duane was more than just a valued member of our governing board, he was also a good friend and someone who played a hugely important role in shaping the decisions we made. Duane died August 3rd from injuries sustained in a bicycling accident on July 21. With experience in the pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences fields, and as a champion of technology entrepreneurship, Duane was uniquely qualified to help guide the stem cell agency's board in its policy and decision making. The CIRM board held a tribute to Roth during its August 28th 2013 meeting which included a viewing of the video above. To formally honor him, CIRM chair Jonathan Thomas announced the renaming of an upcoming RFA to the Duane Roth Disease Team Therapy Development IV award. In addition, a lecture series at the annual Meeting on the Mesa will carry his name. Duane was a big supporter of Pedal the Cause, an organization that raises funds for cancer research. Donations can be made to the organization in Roth's name.

La formacin de la prxima generacin de cientficos expertos en la investigacion con clulas madre es una misin importante para la Agencia de Clulas Madre de California (CIRM). Este video cuenta con Jazmin Penado, una estudiante senior (2014) en Balboa High School en San Francisco, que pas el verano pasado como becaria de CIRM investigando con clulas madre durante una estancia interna de investigacin en el laboratorio de Barbara Panning en el Campus Mission Bay de UCSF. A lo largo de los tres aos de este programa de premios Creatividad CIRM, la agencia ha financiado a 220 estudiantes de educacin secundaria para hacer estancias internas investigando con clulas madre.

This video features Jazmin Penado, a 2014 senior at Balboa High School in San Francisco, who spent this past summer as a CIRM-funded stem cell research intern in the lab of Barbara Panning at UCSF's Mission Bay Campus. Over the course of this three-year CIRM Creativity Awards program, the agency will have supported 220 high school students in stem cell research internships.
