3rd Spring School on Regenerative Medicine at the University of Rostock allows scientist from all over the world to share their opinions and experiences regarding the use of stem cells in this field of neuroscience. The Spring School is organized under the direction of Arndt Rolfs, neurologist at the Department of Neurology at the University of Rostock and will be sponsored by the European Science Foundation.
Regenerative medicine is a newly emerged branch of biomedical research. This field of science is focused on production, characterization and analysis as well as the use of the living and/or artificial organs, tissues of cells for the transplantation purposes. In the recent years it has became obvious that regenerative medicine is an exciting new tool allowing to combat number of different diseases. Both adult and embryonic stem cells can contribute to the development of regenerative medicine.The forthcoming meeting and the 3rd Spring School on Regenerative Medicine at the University of Rostock allows scientist from all over the world to share their opinions and experiences regarding the use of stem cells in this field of neuroscience. The Spring School is organized under the direction of Arndt Rolfs, neurologist at the Department of Neurology at the University of Rostock and will be sponsored by the European Science Foundation.
Together with the conference a one-week practical course on the physiological (electrophysiology) and biochemical methods in stem cells research is run. The course will be done by the electrophysiology and proteomics groups encompassed by the Neurobiology laboratory of Neurology department, University of Rostock. The both groups are among the first to combine these both diverge scientific filed in hope to give the full physiological description of the processes occurring during the differentiation of stem cells. They also hope, for the more practical use of their research, such as for example the qualitative test of the stem cell a priori to grafting procedure. The workshop is thought to attract the young scientist into this field of science and to established the network of excellence through the Europe.
A number of scholarships for the outstanding young candidates is established allowing to share the stem cells expertise across the borders.
