The Stanford Cardiovascular Institute is hosting its 2nd Annual Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering Meeting on May 22, 2015, to discuss new approaches to repairing a damaged heart and vasculature. Significant advances in our understanding of how to coax stem cells towards a cardiovascular cell fate has made it possible to now consider whether these cells are ready for human testing. The next strategic steps for cell-based therapies will be discussed.
The meeting is suited for a broad audience of engineers and scientists and all research disciplines exploring tissue repair, delivery technology and regeneration. All medical and research students are welcome and encouraged to attend and submit abstracts!
