Hydra IV: Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine Summer School

When: 
5 Sep 2008 - 11 Sep 2008

 

 

An in-depth week of stem cell biology - embryonic, fetal, adult and induced pluripotency. Cutting-edge research from systems biology of stem cell fate decisions through to clinical applications.

Lugano Stem Cell Meeting

When: 
1 Jul 2008 - 2 Jul 2008

This stem celli meeting, held in Lugano, Switzerland, has a particular emphasis on cardiovascular disease. 

The first day focuses on GMP regulation of stem cell therapies and process manufacturing. The second day is dedicated to the latest benchmarking and some ongoing clinical trials focusing on cellular therapy after acute STEMI and in chronic ischemic diseases. The meeting concludes with a discussion about present controversies and future challenges.

Ethical Aspects of Embryonic Stem Cell Research in Europe

When: 
2 Oct 2008 - 3 Oct 2008


Lund, Sweden: 2-3 October 2008

 

The main focus of this workshop will be on ethical aspects of interspecies embryo research. Scientific, ethical and regulatory
aspects will be discussed. Why do scientists want to carry out such research? Are there important distinctions between different types of inter-species embryos? What ethical concerns does such research raise? How should these concerns be addressed and dealt with?

ESTOOLS Winter School

When: 
26 Jan 2009 - 30 Jan 2009

 

 

Saariselka (Near Ivalo Airport), Lapland, Finland

Participants
Pre- and post-doctoral scientists as well as technical staff. Roughly half of the 50 expected participants will be from outside ESTOOLS consortium's research units. It will provide intensive training in key aspects of embryonic stem celli biology.
