Leading scientists from the UK and around the world will meet at the University this week (20 and 21 July) to discuss new technologies to create new, living tissues in the lab and to help our bodies regenerate themselves.
The meeting is sponsored by the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society (TCES) and organised by the University’s Bone and Joint Research Group.
The TCES 2015 meeting will bring together the latest UK research with world-leading national and international speakers on stem cells, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Speakers include Dieter Hutmacher, from the University of Queensland in Australia, who will present his latest efforts to make bones heal faster and better and Sheila MacNeil, from the University of Sheffield, who will talk about her work that aims to create replacement skin.
In addition to these leading experts, the next generation of tissue engineers, biologists and early career student scientists from Southampton will be presenting their work on topics including ‘Stem cells’, ‘New technologies’ and ‘Translation to therapies’.
