Quantitative stem cell biology – from models to applications

Date:                    July 18-20, 2012

Where:                 DFG Research Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden
                              Fetscherstraße 105, 01307 Dresden

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
