AIMS OF THE SYMPOSIUM
In function of the tissues concerned by their research, the scientific
communities devoting themselves to biomaterials or to research on stem
cells used to progress in their own fields without ever meeting each other.
As an example, researchers interested in hematopoiesis or treatment of cardiac
diseases rarely meet researchers developing tissue engineering strategies for
the treatment of musculoskeletal or more generally connective tissues diseases.
However, it can be foreseen that both disciplines, seemingly far from one another,
will nevertheless be soon implied in most therapeutic indications being addressed
as "Regenerative Medicine". We therefore find it appropriate and the right time
to gather members of these scientific communities in order to incite them to
communicate, and especially work together to build the future.
The ambitious goal of this symposium, geographically located in the centre part
of Europe, aspires to concentrate equally over 3 days researchers coming from
these various horizons and concerned with basic as well as clinical research.
Even if some of the sessions will be specific, most of them will be organized
according to main themes (blood, vascular, cardiac, bone…) and will therefore
mix both cellular and biomaterial scientists.
We hope that this kind of brain storming meeting will, at short term, lead
to fructuous collaborations and contribute to a rapid development of Regenerative
Medicine, which in our mind is a real conceptual revolution in the therapeutic
approach of many diseases incurable to this day.
