The Stem Cell Network – Asia-Pacific (SNAP) is an organisation established in September 2007 to promote the development of a research community in the Asia Pacific region through increased communications, collaboration and exchange. SNAP seeks to provide a forum for the discussion of scientific advances in stem cell research, as well as developments in the regulatory, policy, ethics, and public domains.
The SNAP mission statement provides for the 'promotion of the ethical, regulated conduct of stem cell research through the holding of educational and training activities for students and young scientists, the development of scientific and ethical guidelines, the holding of meetings and workshops, and the dissemination of information to governmental officials and the general public.'
Future activities by the network will focus on fulfilling these goals and building a strong and dynamic stem cell research community in the Asia-pacific region.
