Further key note lectures will be given by Prof. Jürgen Hescheler, Prof. Ulrich Dirnagl, Prof. Bodo-Eckehard Strauer, Dr. Brigitte Onteniente and Dr. Bernd Stratmann.

The six sessions focus on cardiac, cerebral and peripheral ischemia as well as the use of stem cells, process development and imaging.

As the scientific program fills up, numerous sponsors for the industry exhibition which will be located in the atrium of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology, have also voiced their desire to participate.
