Madison's community college has established an advanced degree that trains students the basics of working with human embryonic stem cells. It's thought to be the only program at a college of this kind that offering hands-on experience with human embryonic stem cells.Madison Area Technical College
The post-baccalaureate Certificate in Stem Cell Techniques launched this fall through the Biotechnology Department at Madison College, which recently changed its name from Madison Area Technical College (or MATC). It currently offers one practical laboratory course in culturing and characterizing human embryonic stem cells, which were first derived in 1998 by University of Wisconsin-Madison cell biologist James A. Thomson.
“This really makes sense in Madison and this is a place where we can make a contribution,” Biotechnology Program Director Lisa Seidman said of the stem cell certificate. “We were ht perfect place to gear up for this.”
The college will this spring offer one course, and add a second lab course in human stem cells next fall, Seidman said. It's an expansion of the college's Biotechnology Program that began with associate degree courses in1987. Since then, the program has added other advanced programs, including one on Bioinformatics and another Biotechnology Intensive certificate.

Again, embryonic stem cell research has proven completely ineffective where as adult stem cell research has produced hundreds of uses. It's bad science pushed by the corporate abortion lobby.
