The 16th US-Japan Cellular and Gene Therapy Conference Agenda
Potential Applications of Mesenchymal Multipotent Stromal Cells
Natcher Conference Center
Building 45, Room E1/E2, National Institutes of Health
Bethesda, Maryland 20892
Thursday, February 28, 2013
The conference is jointly supported by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan under the US-Japan Cooperative Research Program. The goal of the conference is to exchange ideas on cutting edge areas of biomedical research and enhance opportunities for collaborations among scientists from the US and Japan. The scientific theme of our joint annual meetings has been diverse. The invited speakers from Japan and the US will discuss advances in this exciting field of regenerative medicine research.
Seating is limited to 150 attendees and is on a first-come-first-served basis. No prior registration is required. No videocast is arranged for the meeting. For more information, please contact S. Rafat Husain by e-mailing syed.husain@fda.hhs.gov or phone at (301) 827-0475.
