| Details: | It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 4th International Annual Conference of the German Stem Cell Network (GSCN) in Hannover. The 4th GSCN Conference will be hosted by the Hannover Medical School and the Cluster of Excellence REBIRTH. This year, there will be a particular focus on genome engineering and on “translation” with various relevant aspects including disease modelling and drug development, relevant technologies, clinical trials, regulatory affairs and ethical aspects. The conference will be accompanied by a Symposium of ethicists on pressing questions in gene, embryo and stem cell research, will foster the interaction between scientists working in different areas of stem cell research, and aims to bring together basic scientists and clinician scientists. Supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the GSCN is now in its 4th year. Besides organization of the annual conference and the participation in the European UniStem Day, one key activity of the recent year was the composition and publication of the first White Paper on Stem Cell Research as an updated information source for the public and politics, also aiming at raising additional funds for the German stem cell community. Meanwhile, the GSCN annual conferences are a “must-go” event for stem cell researchers in Germany and have substantially stimulated networking in the German and European stem cell scene. Remarkably, also the number of international GSCN members and attendees is continuously increasing. Since promotion of junior scientists is a particular aim of the GSCN, most speakers are selected from the best abstracts that have been submitted. On the other hand, we invited internationally leading researchers to contribute a keynote lecture. We are happy that Alexander Meissner (Boston), Sean Morrison (Dallas), Hiroshi Nagashima (Tokyo), Thomas Eschenhagen (Hamburg), Peter Zandstra (Toronto) and Pete Coffey (London) agreed to join us here in Hannover. Again, awardees of the GSCN prizes will present their results during the Presidential Symposium. The final session of the conference will be a Joined Session with The Cluster of Excellence REBIRTH further highlighting translational aspects of stem cell research and providing an outlook by the former REBIRTH member and new president of the GSCN, Lenhard Rudolph. |
