TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A new center at the University of Kansas Medical Center that focuses on stem cell research is conducting clinical trials only eight months after it opened. <\/p>\n
Officials with the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center briefed a Kansas Senate committee on the clinics work since it was established last year. <\/p>\n
Dr. Buddhadeb Dawn, the centers director, detailed clinical trials for the Senate Ways and Means Committee. He says the trials will help patients and make the state a leader in stem cell treatments. <\/p>\n
