Outreach & Dissemination Activities
The lab is strongly committed to outreach and dissemination activities, believing that public engagement is an essential part of our academic role. These activities take place in the context of European projects such as EuroStemCell (www.eurostemcell.org), NeuroStemcell and Neurostemcellrepair as well as within the UniStem Centre.
The lab personnel take part in informative activities dedicated to patients and their families. The lab actively and constantly interacts with professionals from other fields of knowledge such as philosophy, bioethics, law, sociology, history of medicine, and anthropology. This is because of the social and cultural implications of our research, as well as the interest of some researchers in the laboratory in widening the perspective of their work through exchange with other disciplines.
