Abstract

22-24 April 2015 at Wellcome Trust, Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge.

Few topics in contemporary medicine have attracted more attention than stem cells and their potential for enabling the discovery of new regenerative therapies

The aim of the 2nd conference in this series is to understand the biology that underpins the success or failure of regeneration, and to explore the relationship between stem cell biology and regenerative biology so that both can be fully exploited to treat disease.

Topics will include:

• Regeneration biology: lessons from phylogeny • Regulation through programming and reprogramming • Physiology of healing • Immunology of regeneration • Cell transplantation and tissue integration

Bursaries A limited number of registration bursaries are available for PhD students (up to 50% of the registration fee). Please see Wellcome Trust website for full details.
