This conference is aimed at highlighting the most exciting new developments in basic science and translational aspects of MSC research in the UK and worldwide.

Four internationally renowned keynote speakers will lead delegates through the oral presentation sessions. In addition to plenary talks, the program is structured to include 4-6 oral paper presentations, discussion and delegate participation. Delegates are encouraged to submit abstracts covering all aspects of MSC biology and related areas for poster presentation.
