Jon Odorico: Surgeon moves stem-cell research forward
For all the noisy controversy over the use of human embryonic stem cells, it is very quiet in the places where the real work on the promising cells continues to occur – in the laboratory, for example, of transplant surgeon Jon Odorico.
Odorico is one of a legion of scientists on the UW-Madison campus working to understand and grow stem cells that might one day be used to treat human illnesses.
