Event Details
The Cornell Club of San Diego invites you to be part of a very special faculty speaking event featuring:
Rita Calvo, PhD ’69
Senior Lecturer, Molecular Biology & Genetics at Cornell and
Director, Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers
speaking on:
“Stem Cells & Human Cloning”
6:00 p.m. – Wine and Refreshments
6:30 p.m. – Presentation
What You Will Learn:
Thanks to revolutionary advances in genetics and genomics research, science is advancing treatment for killer diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's and perhaps even cures. How do stem cells and cloning play a part in these medical possibilities? What exactly are stem cells, how are they useful, and what is the controversy all about? Because the body's immune system typically rejects foreign stem cells, cloning enters the picture by enabling scientists to personalize tissue for use in therapy. How is therapeutic cloning different from cloning an entire organism like Dolly the sheep? Learn how cloning works, what therapeutic treatment promises, and what are its risks. Explore some of the ethical issues surrounding stem cell research and cloning involving policy and regulatory legislation, public disclosure, and privacy. Is it more unethical not to use these means to find cures for diseases? Join the discussion.
About the Speaker:
Rita Calvo received a BA in mathematics from Mount Holyoke in 1963 and then went on to get her PhD in microbiology from Cornell in 1969. At Cornell, she was a lecturer in biochemistry from 1977 to 1983, and since 1984 she has been a lecturer in human genetics. From 1989 to 2001, Dr. Calvo served as Director of the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers, an outreach program funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Since 2002, she has been a consultant to the Cornell Center for Nanoscale Systems working on outreach programs for high school physics teachers. Dr. Calvo received the Cornell University Clark Teaching Award for the four-year college division in 1999. In 2002, she was awarded the Science Teachers of New York State’s Service Award and in 2004, was selected by the senior class of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to receive the Professor of Merit Award.
