A one-day event to be held on 13th June 2008 at the 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.

 

Chair – Dr Stephen Minger, Kings College, UK - Director of the Stem Cell Biology Laboratory and Senior Lecturer in the Wolfson Centre for Age Related Diseases
