About HEALING

The HEALING project aims to increase our knowledge about how stem cells behave in normal and disease conditions. HEALING also aims to develop substances that can control such behaviours, with the overarching aim to improve tissue regeneration and wound healing in patients. Seven universities and one partner from industry, located in eight European countries, come together in HEALING. Their collective work promises important scientific advances and training goals, which should allow clear economic benefits.

On 2^nd and 3^rd of December, stem cell biologists from 9 countries gathered in Dresden, Germany to learn how computer models and data analysis can help interpret the complex world of stem cells.  Scientist Tilo Buschmann gave an insider’s view of the workshop via real-time tweets on our page @euro_dayinsci.

From 11^th to 18^th September 2010, 54 young scientists came together with 24 leading stem cell experts for a unique training experience. Students from 13 countries attended HydraVI: The European Summer School on Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, made possible by the collaboration of three EU-funded stem cell research projects – EuroSyStem, OptiStem and NeuroStemCell.
