Summary Sentence: Developing an international network for current training objectives and practices in the field of stem cell biomanufacturing.
Full Summary: 2nd International Conference on Stem Cell Biomanufacturing
The primary purpose of the workshop is to develop an international network
for current training objectives and practices in the field of stem cell
biomanufacturing.
The meeting will be comprised of a series of sessions
focused on:
1) lessons learned from the cell manufacturing industry
2)
engineering of advanced technologies
3) cultivating academia-industry
partnerships
4) formalizing training programs
5) developing
international standards.
Following some short presentations on each
topic, significant time will be allotted to encourage ample discussion amongst
the workshop participants.
It is the committee's hope that one of the
outcomes of this workshop will be a consortium of investigators and
organizations focused on the development of innovative training programs and
practices, in addition to fostering collaborative academic/industrial
partnerships in this timely and critical area of biomanufacturing.
Registration for the workshop will be limited to facilitate personal
interactions and allow ample time for in-depth discussion. We are hopeful that
you will be able to join us for what should be a very productive meeting in
order to lend your experience and perspective to this important
topic.
