On Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 6:30 p.m., Kyla Ortved, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, ACVSMR, will present stem cell research during her lecture on “Regenerative Medicine: Can We Help Our Horses Heal?”

The presentation is part of the First Tuesday Lecture Series at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s (Penn Vet) New Bolton Center and will take place at 382 West Street Road, in Kennett Square. This is the last First Tuesday Lecture for the fall season.
