Welcome
Dear colleagues,
It is a great pleasure for us to announce the 7th Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium Leipzig 2012 which is this year associated with the 7th Annual Congress of the German Society for Stem Cell Research (GSC). From November 29th until the 30th, the Symposium wants to view the topic of "Stem Cells and Clinical Applications".
Stem cells offer many opportunities for biomedical applications. More and more stem cell research is becoming relevant for clinical applications. We want to invite you to present your scientific work and also to meet renowned keynote speakers as well as other scientists from the exciting field of stem cell research. This symposium offers you the opportunity to hear about and discuss new scientific developments, encounter new people, and meet old friends and colleagues. With the industrial exhibition you will surely find a good platform to communicate your expectations and needs for your research with business partners.
The GSC is an independent scientific specialist society that supports and funds research with embryonic, fetal, and adult stem cells. It structures and brings together the latest knowledge to improve stem cell research on a national and international level. The Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI investigates and develops solutions to specific problems at the interface of medicine, life sciences, and engineering. The goal is to bring new therapeutic strategies "from bench to bedside" through application orientated research and development services.
We want to warmly invite you to experience the beautiful city of Leipzig. The city is very dynamic in various areas – from the opportunities in business and science, via the cultural versatility, up to the quality of life. Leipzig is within Germany itself an outstanding location for developing regenerative medicine and stem cell applications. Come and witness what the city has to offer.
We are looking forward to meeting you!
Yours sincerely,
 Prof. Dr. Frank Emmrich Conference President Fraunhofer IZI |
 Prof. Dr. Jürgen Hescheler President of the German Society for Stem Cell Research |
