The 3rd International Meeting on Regenerative Medicine will showcase groundbreaking research and clinical trials utilizing advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) for various diseases and wound healing. The conference will also feature bio-engineered human organs and explore strategies to advance and accelerate the development of ATMPs in Norway.
Our Scientific Program features a lineup of renowned speakers sharing insights to the latest developments in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, we invite PhD and master's students to showcase their research at the Lightning Talks Session. Our social program includes a mingling conference dinner, as well as lunch and snacks.
