Dear colleagues and friends,

It is a great pleasure for me to announce the Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium Leipzig 2011, which will take place on November 3, 2011 in Leipzig, Germany.
As an affiliated meeting of the World Conference on Regenerative Medicine (WRM) the meeting will encompass the topic of biomaterial sciences in regenerative medicine. 

Biomaterials and scaffolds play an important role within the regeneration of defect or lost tissue and organs. The interactions between artificial and biological materials and cells are focus of the satellite meeting. New approaches and applications of biomaterials as implants or within tissue engineering will be discussed as well.

The conference supports as well a large industrial exhibition where international researchers and biotechnology companies can extensively demonstrate how far translation of current technology could reach and how research could be implemented as products.

Since 2005 we have organized this annual event. The successful, interdisciplinary and stimulating event offers the opportunity to hear about and discuss new scientific developments, encounter new persons and meet old friends and colleagues – and all together spend exciting days in Leipzig.

I’m looking forward to meeting you at WRM and the Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium Leipzig and I wish us all already now an informative and knowledgeable time.

With kind regards,

Professor Dr. Frank Emmrich
Conference President
