The Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology will hold the third Life Science Symposium in Leipzig, Germany, on 24 and 25 October. This time, the symposium will be dedicated to ischaemia and regeneration with a focus on stroke, cardiac infarction and circulation disorders. Additional sessions will include the topic of stem cells in ischaemic diseases.

More specifically, keynote speeches and presentations will address the following topics:

  • clinical indication and long-term outcome of cardiac stem-cell therapy;
  • regeneration in cerebral ischaemia;
  • the potential of cell therapy with human embryonic stem cells in stroke;
  • regeneration of circulation disorders;
  • the therapeutic potential of bone marrow cells in the failing heart;
  • stem cells in ischaemic diseases;
  • process development for cell-based therapies in ischaemic diseases;
  • apart from bone marrow - application of stem cell products in clinical trials;
  • monitoring and imaging in ischaemic diseases;
  • imaging of pathobiology in stroke: from mouse to man.

In addition to international scientists presenting their latest findings, there will be an industry exhibition.
