Future Advances in Regenerative Medicine
Jun 13, 2008 - Jun 13, 2008,
BioPark Hertfordshire, Broadwater Road Welwyn Garden City, England, United Kingdom

Cell- and gene-based therapies are quickly progressing from the lab bench to the clinic. Restoration of damaged tissues in humans thus requires close and significant interactions between basic scientists, clinicians, regulators, biochemical and tissue engineers, and commercial biotechnology. The goal of this meeting is to provide a “snapshot” of the current landscape in Regenerative Medicine, and to highlight outstanding issues in translational biology.

Dr Stephen Minger, Kings College, UK (Meeting Chair)

Classification, Identity and The Body
Jun 13, 2008 - Jun 13, 2008,
University of Cambridge Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

This interdisciplinary symposium will bring together researchers working on diverse aspects of health and welfare. The one-day workshop organised by the Health and Welfare Research Group is designed to showcase on-going research by postgraduate and early research fellows in Cambridge. It attempts to promote academic exchange and to encourage future collaboration.

The Health and Welfare Research Group is a graduate-faculty research group at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH). From an interdisciplinary perspective, the group explores the malleable and sometimes recursive nature of knowledge about health, disease, and society. The symposium aims to use this comparative approach to focus on the construction and conceptualisation of human and social well-being in diverse historical periods and geographical areas. Discussion of the impact of these ideas on the practice of healthcare and the implementation of welfare policy is particularly encouraged.
