29-31 May, Osaka, Japan

Osaka, Japan will host this year’s Nano Delivery 2017, International Conference and Exhibition on Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery.

Nano Delivery 2017 will serve as a platform for the interaction between experts in the areas of nanotechnology, nanomedicine, pharmaceutics and drug delivery around the world and aims in sharing some unique research and translational studies on various advances in the field of Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Technologies. The main theme of the conference is designated as “Challenges and Innovations in Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Research”, which opens the doors for many researchers, clinicians, and industry representatives working in these exciting areas.

Over 50+ international organizations will be exhibiting at the Nanodelivery 2017 conference and exhibition. Exhibitors will include equipment manufacturers and suppliers, systems providers, finance and investment firms, R&D companies, project developers, trade associations, and government agencies.

In addition to the Nanodelivery exhibition, there will be keynote presentations, product demonstrations, educational sessions from today’s industry leaders, and poster presentations.

23-26 May 2017, Heidelberg, Germany

The EMBO Conference for Advances in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine will take place this May at the EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany, and will aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of stem cell biology.

The cellular and molecular properties of normal tissue stem cells will be discussed, as will the properties of the niches that maintain them. The conference will address alterations to stem cell function during ageing, and how stem cells can be used for regenerative purposes and for disease modelling. On this occasion a particular focus will be on ageing/metabolism and the link between these topics and tissue homeostasis/regeneration. These are emerging areas in the stem cell field, with considerable potential and huge societal relevance.

The meeting will also focus on the emerging and state-of-the-art single cell transcriptome techniques that are uncovering novel insights into stem cell populations.

Keynote speakers confirmed:

• Anne Brunet, (Stanford University, USA)
• Hans C. Clevers, (Hubrecht Institute, The Netherlands)
• Michele De Luca, (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy)

The full programme and other details are available on the website and registration is open until 12th April.

21-24 May 2017, Porto, Portugal

Biomaterials Science is pleased to support the 6th China-Europe Symposium on Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine, which takes place at the Fundação Dr. António Cupertino de Miranda.

CESB2017 aims to bring together two societies that have collaborated for many years to promote significant advances to the field of biomaterials, with specific focus on regenerative medicine applications. It will review the developmental trend and the progress on the frontier research of biomaterials sciences and engineering, including progresses in clinical research and applications.
