Stem Cell Biologist Dies

November 24, 2015

(The Scientist) – Paolo Bianco, a stem cell biologist who fought against overhyped and understudied stem cell therapies, passed away November 7. He was 60. “Paolo made great contributions both in the science of stem cells itself and also in the area of advocating for responsible science,” Paul Knoepfler of the University of California, Davis, wrote on his blog this month (November 7). “It is challenging to do both and he did it incredibly well.”
