On October, 29 the 4th Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium will be held in Leipzig. This year's topic is "Rapid Prototyping and Scaffolds - New Techniques for Tissue Engineering".
This year the Fraunhofer Life Science Symposium takes place in the framework of the World Conference on Regenerative Medicine (WRM). The synergy between rapid prototyping and regenerative medicine offers mutually beneficially points of contact for each research area. Experts from rapid prototyping provide innovative scaffolds and materials for medical use that can be colonized with specific cells. This provides the basis for new technologies and therapies.
The host of the event, the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology, this year is supported by the Fraunhofer Additive Manufacturing Alliance as well as by the Central Germany Rapid Prototyping Network, "enficos".
Two renowned researchers have confirmed their participation in the scientific program: Minna Kellomäki from the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Finnish Tampere University of Technology is an expert in the development of biodegradable materials and tissue engineering implants. Lorenzo Moroni from the Department of Tissue Regeneration of the University of Twente, Netherlands will give a lecture about the design of rapid prototyped smart scaffolds in regenerative medicine.
Submission of abstracts is possible until July 15, 2009 on http://www.fs-leipzig.com. For further information regarding the 4th FLS please visit our homepage http://www.fs-leipzig.com.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
