Changing the Face of Modern Medicine: Stem Cells & Gene Therapy

Changing the Face of Modern Medicine: Stem Cells & Gene Therapy is organized by International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), European Society for Gene Therapy (ESGCT), French Society of Cell Therapy and Genetics/Société Française de Thérapie Cellulaire et Génique (SFTCG) and will be held from Oct 16 - 19, 2018 at SwissTech Convention Center, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland.

Conference Description:
This conference will offer four days of compelling talks, poster presentations, and networking events that highlight the translational process. From basic stem cell research to treatments in the clinic, this collaborative event between the ISSCR and ESGCT will bring insight and perspective to the broad scope of stem cell and regenerative medicine.

The scientific program includes 25 plenary and concurrent sessions with renowned international speakers, as well as opportunities for abstract-selected speakers to present the latest research. In addition, numerous pre-meeting sessions include a Clinical Trial and Commercialization workshop; a Regulatory workshop (sponsored by Merck); and an Education Day for scientists new to regenerative medicine.

Course Topics:
• Disease Modeling
• Cancer
• CNS + Eye
• Genomic charictarisation of pluripotent stem cells
• Vector Development
