Stem Cell Directors Begin Meeting

Directors of the California stem cell opened their meeting this morning in  Burlingame at 11:17 a.m. PST with introduction of two new members of the 29-member board and a new alternate for a regular member. The first order of business is the $40 million tools and technology round of grants. The board has a quorum but Chairman Klein warned that some directors will have to leave early -- not an uncommon situation for the board. The meeting is scheduled to end at 5 p.m.
