Tissue Engineering Congress 2014

This is a three day event including:

-Stem Cell Reprogramming

This event will highlight and discuss recent advances in strategies for controlling stem cell fate and reprogramming. Progress towards therapeutic applications, and new insights into the molecular basis of pluripotency, differentiation, and transdifferentiation will be discussed in an informal setting with plenty of opportunity for networking. This event has CPD accreditation.

-Stem Cells and BioProcessing

Harnessing the immense therapeutic and research potential of stem cells requires extensive quality control to ensure the identity, quality, and safety of the cell. Stem cells of different origin and their capability to differentiate towards a specific phenotype as well as tissue engineered constructs are dependent of all kinds of bioprocesses including cultivation media, biomechanical conditions and purification techniques. All topics dealing with the optimization and analysis of processes leading to defined in vitro cultivated cell lines and engineered tissues - with a special focus on bioreactors - will be discussed in this session. This event has CPD accreditation.

-Novel Biomaterials and Technology for use in Regenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineering

This meeting brings together the principles of engineering and life sciences in tissue development and regenerative medicine to discuss scientific research and developments of clinical applications from leading experts in the field. The newest research and developing technology will be discussed in an informal setting with plenty of networking opportunities.
