4th International Congress on Stem Cells and Tissue Formation

4th International Congress on Stem Cells and Tissue Formation
"Quantitative stem cell biology – from models to applications"
18 - 20 July, 2012
CRTD Dresden, Germany

This conference will bring together experimentalists and clinicians with
theoreticians to discuss latest experimental/clinical results, new
theoretical concepts, and innovative technologies with an aim to foster
a truly interdisciplinary, open-minded exchange of ideas.

To foster a truly interdisciplinary, open-minded exchange of ideas, the
conference starts with a 1.5 day symposium on dynamics of stem cell
heterogeneity and stem cell fate decisions (with topics ranging from
basic to systems biology) in different tissues and cell types. This
plenary part will be followed by parallel sessions on more specific
topics, focusing on hematopoietic stem cells, neural stem cells and
diabetes.


Discussion themes include:
-  stem cell heterogeneity
-  stem cell fate decisions
-  stem cells in regeneration & development
-  stem cells in disease & treatment
-  stem cell related bioengineering & biomaterial
-  theoretical stem cell biology
-  mathematical modelling
with a focus (but no restriction) on neural stem cells, hematopoietic
stem cells and diabetes.

Early bird registration deadline: 17th February 2012
Abstract submission deadline: 15th April 2012
