Continuing Frontiers in Stem Cells with Dr. Dennis Roop

Dr. Dennis Roop will update and summarize recent stem cell research developments already impacting the treatment of patients at the University Of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus.

Discoveries are being used in clinical care where cancer has been eliminated in some patients.  Also learn about new programs under development with adult stem cells such as: cornea and retina regeneration, cardiovascular disease, joint disease (cartilage and bone) and inherited skin blistering diseases.

About Dr. Dennis Roop

Dr. Roop is presently Professor of Dermatology, Charles C. Gates Chair of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Biology as well as Director of Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Biology.

Dr. Roop's laboratory has had a long-standing interest in studying genetic pathways required for normal skin development and in the identification of genetic alterations that occur in inherited skin diseases and in acquired skin diseases such as cancer. It is also testing whether adult skin stem cells can be reprogrammed to form other cell types, such as neuronal cells.
