WELCOME - STEM CELL MEETING

Come celebrate Israel’s 60th birthday with us
and hear the very latest on stem cell research

Dear Colleagues,

It is our honor and pleasure to invite you to participate in “The Second International Stem Cell Meeting: The Potency of Stem Cells” to be held from May 27-29, 2008 in Tel-Aviv in conjunction with the ILSI-Biomed Israel 2008 Conference.

In May 2008, the State of Israel will celebrate its 60th year of Independence, and this event provides us with the opportunity to illuminate the exciting Israeli community of stem cell research.

This International Stem Cell Meeting is a prestigious international event bringing together world-renowned scientists at the frontier of embryonic and adult stem cell research.

The Meeting will cover a multitude of topics, such as: Stem cell biology: embryonic and adult stem cells; Stem cell differentiation and plasticity; Stem cell renewal; Cloning and stem cells; Stem cell transplantation and regeneration; Stem cells and cancer; The stem cell niche; Genetic manipulations of stem cells; Disease and stem cell therapy; Tissue and organ reconstruction based on stem cell technologies; Genomic and proteomic analysis of stem cells; The industry of stem cells; Stem cell ethics.

At last year’s event, we were fortunate to host world renowned keynote speakers from the Academia. Due to the unique occasion of both the Biomed conference and the Stem Cell Meeting taking place concurrently, over 5,000 scientists, engineers and executives participated, including  over 600 from abroad. We are confident that combining the two conferences again this year will offer exceptional opportunities for collaborations.

We will continue in our tradition of international leading scientists presenting in plenary sessions, and a highly ranked Abstract and Poster competition will take place during the Conference.

Since the Conference is in May, you might wish to combine your attendance with a holiday in Israel, where you can enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches and historical sites in the world. Please come and join us for a wonderful spring time and an unforgettable week of education and leisure.

We look forward to your support and participation, and will provide more information and details in the very near future.

Best Regards from Israel,
