Autologous stem cells: experimental and clinical studies

All-Russian Scientific School-Conference "Autologous stem Cells: Experimental and clinical studies"Venue and time: Moscow, Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, Lomonosov Moscow State University, September 21-26, 2009

The purpose of the school-conference is to provide a platform for discussing the scientific and practical significance of research in the field of stem cells, as well as to ensure the involvement of young scientists in the field of cellular technologies.

The school-conference will consist of two parts:

• The All-Russian Conference "Autologous Stem Cells: Experimental and Clinical studies" will be held on September 21-23, 2009The conference is planned to be attended by leading scientists of Russian research institutes and higher educational institutions, as well as representatives of biotechnological and pharmaceutical companies.
  
  The conference program will include oral presentations by leading experts on the following topics:
  • stem cell biology,
  • clinical use of autologous stem cells,
  • methods of research and preparation of cellular material.
• A scientific school on autologous stem cells for young scientists will be held on September 24-26, 2009The school program will include seminars and practical classes on cell technologies, gene therapy, flow cytofluorimetry and sorting, DNA diagnostics, microscopy.
  Within the framework of the school, round tables will be organized: "Scientific programs for young scientists", "From R&D to business", etc.

Within the framework of the school-conference, a poster message contest for young scientists will be held in two categories: "The best fundamental research" and "The best scientific and applied work". Five best works will be selected in each of the nominations.

The winners in the nomination "The best Fundamental research" will have the opportunity to publish their work in the journal "Cell Transplantology and Tissue Engineering". The winners in the nomination "The best scientific and applied work" will be presented to the second round of the competition "U.M.N.I.K.". (ATTENTION! The age of the participants must be from 18 to 28 years old, in accordance with the rules of the competition U.M.N.I.K.).

The winners of the competition in each nomination will have the opportunity to make a presentation and an oral report.

To participate in the poster message contest, it is necessary to send abstracts in the following directions:

• induced pluripotent stem cells,
• hematopoietic stem cells,
• bone marrow mesenchymal cells,
• stromal cells of adipose tissue,
• resident stem cells,
• clinical use of stem cells,
• methods of analysis and preparation of cellular preparations.

Abstracts should be sent by e-mail scells.ffm@gmail.com until September 02, 2009.Participation in the school conference is free of charge.
