Around the State
How much do you know about stem cell research? Did you know that Wisconsin is not only the founder and a leading pioneer in embryonic stem cell research; it is also home to the country’s first and only National Stem Cell Bank? For several years, stem cell research has been a topic for discussion and debate, but is often misunderstood. It is important that residents of Wisconsin are given the right information about stem cell research and understand the scientific benefits as well as economic development potential the research holds for the state.

In January 2007, the Wisconsin Edge began its statewide initiative, which is designed to inform and educate the public on stem cell research by visiting several organizations in multiple cities. Information is delivered by presenters who are educated in stem cell research in Wisconsin. The goal of each visit is to present the basic facts about stem cell research and to answer questions.
