I have read the blog with the outmost interest. I am an MD PhD working in Chile. Dr. Knoepfler, which would you say is the best training a physician with interest in stem cells can pursue in the topic at this moment?
Most old-school stem cell biologists started out as immunologists.
Since use of flow cytometry is key for analysis of sub-populations of cells, immunologists already had a head-start over others since they used FACS routinely, and performed much analysis on cell-surface marker proteins.
Today, who knows if this is still the case since stem cell biology is its own field.
