Future Advances in Regenerative Medicine

Friday, June 13, BioPark Hertfordshire

"Cell- and gene-based therapies are quickly progressing from the lab bench to the clinic. Restoration of damaged tissues in humans thus requires close and significant interactions between basic scientists, clinicians, regulators, biochemical and tissue engineers, and commercial biotechnology. The goal of this meeting is to provide a “snapshot” of the current landscape in Regenerative Medicine, and to highlight outstanding issues in translational biology".

This meeting will be Chaired by Dr Stephen Minger, Kings College, UK. He is Director of the Stem Cell Biology Laboratory and a Senior Lecturer in the Wolfson Centre for Age Related Diseases at King's College London

There is a great line-up of speakers:

Professor Glyn Stacey, National Institute of Biological Standards and Control, UK

Dr Rike Zietlow, Cardiff University, UK
