A inter-Nordic symposium on Stem Cells in Tissue Re-generation and Cancer
This symposium will focus on the recent advances in stem cell biology, their role in cancer and in the use of stem cells for re-generation and transplantation.
Venue:
The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters
H.C. Andersens Boulevard 35, Copenhagen
Kristian Helin and Jiri Bartek are organizers.
The symposium is free of charge and open to the public but registration is required for all participants.
