Michael Bloomberg be our special guest and speaker.

Over the past three years, this annual dinner has been instrumental to
NYSCF’s success, thanks to significant support from our many friends.
Leslie and Chuck Close, Fiona and Stan Druckenmiller, Marlene Hess and James Zirin, and Noelle
and Dick Wolf were our dinner Co-Chairs.
To underscore our tradition of making this a scientific event, as well
as a beautiful evening, we held two panel discussions preceding
the dinner: Research Highlights for a Lay Audience and The Political Landscape.
The
first panel provided an overview of the
research to be presented at the annual translational stem cell research
conference the following day. The second panel, immediately following,
examined why representatives from both ends of the political
spectrum agree that stem cell research is one of the most urgent issues
of our time.
