The leading European Summer School on Stem Cell Biology
This summer school will provide a critical analysis of contemporary issues in stem cell biology. During the in-depth, week-long programme, participants will attend lectures and workshops on

• The biology of stem cells - embryonic, fetal and adult systems
• Plasticity, epigenetic regulation, signaling and niche
• Clinical applications and clinical trials
• Ethics and patents in stem cell research

Additional specialist workshops 26-27 September 2009
This year's summer school will be immediately followed by two new specialist workshops:

• NeuroStemcell workshop on stem cells and neurodegenerative diseases
• OptiStem workshop on stem cells and degenerative epithelial and muscle diseases

These two-day workshops will be held at the same Hydra venue as the summer school.

Who can apply?
The summer school is open to postgraduate research students, postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers, clinical training fellows and technicians from universities, research institutes and industry, working in stem cell biology or related fields.

Registration for 2009 is now closed, but we will be running the summer school again in 2010. If you'd like to look at this year's full programme, you can find it on the Hydra website.
