South Korea, whose scientists last year became the first to produce stem cells from cloned human embryos (Science, 13 February 2004, p. 937), is hoping to score more firsts in efforts to turn human embryonic stem (ES) cell research into treatments for disease. This week, Seoul National University was scheduled to announce the creation of a World Stem Cell Hub centered at the school's hospital, spearheaded by cloning pioneer Woo Suk Hwang and funded by the Korean government. Hwang and University of Pittsburgh stem cell researcher Gerald Schatten have collaborated on the plan, which will include facilities in Europe and the United States, as well as a stem cell bank and a program allowing Korean technicians to teach cloning and the cultivation of human ES cell lines.
