On behalf of the scientific and organizing committees we would like to extend a warm welcome to BioStar 2010 - the 4th Congress on Regenerative Biology and Medicine. The meeting will be held from October 13-15, 2010 at the conference center “Haus der Wirtschaft” in Stuttgart.

BioStar uses a unique conference format to showcase exciting ideas and developments in the field of regenerative biology and medicine. By bringing together topics relevant for research, clinical application and industry, BioStar provides an ideal meeting ground for stimulating exchanges between scientists, physicians, business people and students. BioStar 2010 – truly “Science in Exchange”!

The BioStar Congress has its roots in fertile soil: The STERN BioRegion in southwest Germany and right in the heart of Europe is a stimulating environment with a vibrant academic community, excellent healthcare centers and a dynamic biotechnology industry. The exciting synergy generated by the multi-disciplinary field of regenerative biology and medicine provides great hope that together we can find ways to repair damaged organs and cure degenerative diseases and cancer.

Regenerative biology and medicine are among the most dynamic fields in today’s life sciences and biotechnology and offer some of the most promising options for the future treatment of damaged organs, cancer and degenerative diseases. Such contributions come from a wide variety of backgrounds and span the entire spectrum of life sciences, including clinical application and treatment as well as biotechnology, informatics, chemistry, nanotechnology, material sciences and process engineering.

BioStar was conceived with the aim of offering a platform for scientific exchange among all those disciplines involved in regenerative biology and medicine. We hope that this meeting of minds will lead to new collaborations and scientific advances.
