An overview of upcoming September conferences

Some key upcoming stem cell and regenerative medicine meetings are included for your interest below. What are you most excited about?

The 6th annual Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine Congress, The Westin Copley Place, Boston, MA, USA, 15—16 September 2014

This is a commercial stem cells event for biotechs, academia, government and CMOs to talk about process enhancement, innovative technology and business development. From regulation, approaches to alternative regenerative medicine and the latest exciting developments in iPS cells, the Congress provides opportunities and strategies for biotechs and their partners.

From Stem Cells to Human Development Workshop, Surrey, UK, 21—24 September 2014

Organised by Olivier Pourquié (Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology, France), Austin Smith (University of Cambridge, UK) and Benoit Bruneau (University of California, CA, USA), the workshop brings together scientists with a common interest in understanding human development using stem cell systems. Topics to be discussed will include the establishment of pluripotency, development of the major lineages and tissue morphogenesis, as well as translational and ethical aspects of human stem cell research.

1st International Conference on Repair, Regeneration and Reconstruction, London, UK 25—27 September 2014

This meeting will provide an opportunity for groups from around the world to present research and innovation in key fields of reconstructive and regenerative science and medicine. A core aim of the conference is to stimulate cross-fertilisation of ideas that will further our understanding and provide realistic translation into treatments and reconstructive techniques. The meeting will provide an invaluable forum for the dissemination of research work.
