"From Benchtop to Bioprocess"
Biologists and engineers must work together to combine basic and translational research in fields that will impact health care in the coming years, particularly the promising field of stem cells. This Gordon-style conference emphasizes how basis and applied efforts in stem cell biology and engineering can combine to aid in the development of stem cell therapeutics and bioprocesses. Topics emphasize how quantitative approaches can yield an increased understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie these stem cell fate choices, technologies to study stem cell function, and the development of bioprocesses to culture stem cells for commercial applications.
