There are over 150.000 cases of stroke each year in Germany; do stem cells offer an opportunity for therapy? And how can new approaches be translated into clinic? These questions and more are being asked by the researchers who will be coming from all over Europe to Leipzig. Find out the answers at the 3rd Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium.

"The Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium offers a professional surrounding to present and discuss new therapeutic approaches for these diseases." says Professor Frank Emmrich, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI).
