1st
INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT CONGRESS
ON CELL
THERAPIES AND TISSUE
ENGINEERING
Date:
23rd-24th October 2008
Location:
Central London, UK (Venue TBC)
OVERVIEW......................................................................................................................
Advancements
in stem cell research and tissue engineering
hold the promise of a new trove of regenerative
therapies to treat diseases and conditions
by restoring or repairing genetic and cellular
defects. Over the past decade alone billions
of dollars of investment have poured into
the sector, and with over 550 global companies
developing or collaborating on regenerative
products, the clinical development stakes
are high. Understanding the current challenges
and the technological advances is critical
for successful transition from bench to
clinic.
Arrowhead-Spectra's
1st International Clinical Development
Congress on Cell Therapies and Tissue Engineering
is the forum to decipher the progress of
clinical-phase candidates and technologies
that have the potential to succeed in the
highly competitive global marketplace. Based
on presentations of case studies, trials,
and proprietary data, the conference will
be an unmissable event that focuses pioneering
clinical development work.
