12th Annual Hilton Head Workshop entitled, Regenerative Medicine: Advancing to Next Generation Therapies

You are invited to participate in the 12th Annual Hilton Head Workshop entitled, Regenerative Medicine: Advancing to Next Generation Therapies being held March 12-16, 2008 at the beautiful Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island.  The goals of the workshop are to bring together academic and corporate scientists and their students working at the cutting edge of tissue regenerative technologies and provide an intimate forum for sharing the latest insights and discoveries in this rapidly progressing field. The scientific program will focus on translational testing of the latest advances towards next generation therapies in regenerative medicine including:

animal models
cell and gene delivery
growth factors
natural & synthetic biomaterial scaffolds
controlling the cellular microenvironment
noninvasive imaging
stem cell technology
technology transfer
clinical translation

Invited presentations will lead off each session followed by talks selected from submitted abstracts.  The program will also include "rapid-fire" talk sessions and an evening poster session.

Active researchers, graduate, postdoctoral student researchers, and those interested in keeping pace with the latest developments in regenerative medicine are encouraged to participate.  This workshop has grown over the years to more than 200 participants and provides a unique "Gordon Conference-style" environment and is structured to allow ample opportunity for participants to interact with each other, both within the formal sessions and informally at other times.
