3rd International Annual Conference of the German Stem Cell Network (GSCN)

The 3rd International Annual Conference of the GSCN will cover the latest findings from the field of stem cell biology. The interaction of scientists working on different types of stem cells (embryonic stem cells, stem cells in adult organs and cancer stem cells) has proven to be very fruitful at the GSCN Annual Conferences. Application of stem cells in regenerative therapies, disease modeling and drug development will be covered as well as strategic issues related to stem cell research, e.g. career development, public outreach, funding policies and clinical trials with stem cells.

Most speakers will be selected from the best abstracts submitted leading up to the conference. While the event focuses on stem cell research in Germany, participants from countries around the world are welcome to attend and submit their abstracts. The selection of abstracts for oral presentations will be based solely on scientific quality. The program will be completed by invited keynote lectures to present the international points of reference for this fast growing field of research. We are happy to inform that Andras Nagy (Toronto), Paul Riley (Oxford), Hans-Willem Snoek (New York) and Lorenz Studer (New York) have accepted invitations to present their most recent results.
