Make sure to submit an abstract by Tuesday, November 21st, 11:59 p.m. (CET) to be considered for a poster and/or oral presentation during the Conference titled Bone marrow transplantation –
much more than haematopoietic tissue reconstitution Conference

10/11/2017

Abstract submission deadline extended until November 21, 2017!

Dear friends and colleagues,

The workshops will take place on 20th Dec 2017 from 8.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m.

The workshops will run in parallel and are devoted to:
1. Propagation of bone marrow cells toward mesenchymal stem cells. The activity of attendees includes direct observation of the processing and further enrichment in the cells of stemness cell characteristics in the semi-open system.
Leader: Agata Borowik
2. Propagation of mesenchymal stem cells to achieve the level of differentiation to osteocytes, chondrocytes and adipocytes.
Leader: Marta Groblicka
3. Bio-printing – illustration of the procedure and a seminar on it.
4. Extracorporeal photochemotherapy demonstration of the procedure.

It is a great pleasure and personal satisfaction to convey to you our cordial invitation to attend the 11th International Conference, which this year deals with the issue of the complex biology of versatile stem cells settled in the bone marrow. This is reflected by the title of the conference: Bone marrow transplantation – much more than haematopoietic tissue reconstitution.
For the organizers the conference also has a very personal aspect coinciding in time with the 30th anniversary of the first bone marrow transplantation performed in our institution. The organizers are very honored to have in the group of introductory lecturers among others Drs. Mohamad Mohty, Nicolaus Kroeger, Mariusz Ratajczak, Graca Almeida Porada, Rüdiger Hehlmann and Edward Scott.
For more details please visit the website http://wroclaw2017bmconference.pl/.

As you can see from our tentative program there is a room for oral presentation so I would like to invite you to send your abstract to be chosen for oral or poster presentations (see: wroclaw2017bmconference.pl.).

The organizers will facilitate your attendance of four workshops, which deal with cutting edge issues, namely propagation of bone marrow cells toward mesenchymal stem cells, differentiation of stem cells to osteoblasts, chondroblasts, and adipocytes, and the use of bioprinting for regenerative medicine.
In addition, we are planning to edit a special issue and you will be invited to send your manuscript for publication.
We will be very pleased to have you with us during the conference.
See you then in Wroclaw.
Andrzej Lange, MD, FRCP (London), Dr med Sci, Professor
