Researchers to host symposium on cloning technologies
The Wake Forest University School of Medicine’s Center for the Neurobehavioral Study of Alcohol Research will host a public symposium titled, “Cloning Technologies for Alcohol Research,” on Oct. 21-22 at the Piedmont Triad Community Research Center.
“Cloning technologies have been successfully applied in agriculture,” said Kathleen Grant, a professor at the school of medicine and an organizer of the event. “We are interested in the application of these technologies to basic neuroscience research concerning risk, prevention and treatment of alcoholism.”
