First EACTS Meeting on Cardiac and Pulmonary Regeneration

Bellevue Palace Hotel, Berne
28th – 29th November 2008

The 1st Annual Regeneration meeting is dedicated to the emerging field of regenerative medicine for the heart and lung.  During this comprehensive conference, leaders in the field will convene to present their work, experiences, and opinions to address some of the key issues of the field.

We propose a two-day symposium with state-of-the-art presentations by the leading experts in regenerative medicine.  The meeting is structured to provide considerable time for discussion in order to facilitate the free exchange of ideas.  We aim to cultivate a friendly atmosphere with ample time for discussion and presentations from all participants. The meeting will be very interactive with the goal not only of being educational (including constructive critique of experiments and projects), but also of fostering collaborations and networking.

This meeting will highlight the cutting-edge research in the field. It will bring together junior and senior scientists representing all aspects of cardio-thoracic regeneration research.  We have selected a great panel of experts from the cardiovascular regeneration field as well as leading experts in pulmonary repair and regeneration.

The following session topics will be covered:

  • Homing and engraftment of progenitor cells
  • Cell therapy: basic and clinical aspects
  • Clinically relevant stem cell populations
  • Angiogenesis in the heart and lung
  • Novel approaches for cardiovascular regeneration
  • Cell therapy for the lung
