Bioscience Network (BSN), the parent of StemCellResources.org, has prepared a virtual, interactive map illustrating more than 1,300 research centers, stem cell banks, and private businesses throughout the world. The website, www.WorldStemCellMap.com contains related information on stem cell banking, private industry and stem cell research.

The map allows users to click on any or all of the three categories to see visually where stem cell work is taking place. Users may zoom in or out and scroll around the map to see additional detail. The map is the result of more than six months of research and is believed to be the most comprehensive listing of stem cell activity known. BSN will market the database used to create the map as a separate product. For more information.

A physical copy of the map is on display at the Maryland Science Center, Baltimore, Maryland as part of a new 5,000 square foot exhibition on cellular biology.
