Gov. Jim Doyle will take his support for embryonic stem cell research to a national stage Saturday as the keynote speaker at a stem cell summit at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.
Doyle will speak to scientists, policy-makers and patient advocates at a two-day conference sponsored by the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics and the Genetic Policy Institute. The conference is called "Stem Cell Policy and Advocacy Summit: Empowering the Pro-Cures Coalition."
"He's considered a hero to our movement," said Bernard Siegel, executive director of the institute, a non-profit group based in Wellington, Fla., that works to encourage stem cell research.
