SEOUL - DISGRACED South Korean cloning scientist Hwang Woo Suk is part of a team seeking government approval to resume research into stem cells, officials said yesterday
A research lab opened by Hwang last year has submitted a request that it be allowed to begin a new embryonic stem cell research project, the Health Ministry said.
'Hwang was one of the eight researchers from the Suam Biotechnology Institute who filed an application (on Dec 13) to conduct stem cell studies,' an official at the ministry's bioethics and safety bureau said.
'We have to send a reply within 90 days but our bureau is expected to hold a meeting in February on whether to approve the request,' the official said.
