Stem Cells Need Chemical Solutions

Graham Parker held training positions in the UK, Canada, and the USA, where his work on nicotine asked questions that were substantially framed by the departments in which he worked, Psychology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics, and Pediatrics, where he is now a research professor. His current research interest was born of a need to answer questions of concern to his young family. He is an editor of Stem Cells and Development, a role he shamelessly uses to rant about presumption in stem cell research. |

Abstract
Stem cell research finds itself at a critical juncture, having presented a promise and potential that has thus far gone substantially unrealized. Chemical science has technology and expertise that can solve some of these shortcomings. Recruiting chemical scientists to collaborate with stem cell biologists will advance significantly efforts to understand normal development of and achieve therapeutic applications using stem cells.
