Welcome note

Stem cells are non-specialized living entities from which all other mature cells of the body are originated. These versatile cells have been reported to maintain homeostasis and to actively substitute damaged cells post-injury via an induced ability to self-renew and differentiate. Such features have paved the way for the design and development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Stem cells are currently reaching clinical development which is considered as a major breakthrough in the era of modern medicine. Expectations and investigations' interest on stem cells are willing to gain novel insights on diseases manifestation, safety and efficacy evaluation of new chemical entities, as well as on the development of cell and stem-cell regenerative based therapies.

The Moroccan Society for Regenerative Therapies (MSRT) is organizing its first international symposium on stem cells: From Biology to innovative therapeutics, which will take place at the university of Sultan Moulay Slimane at Beni-Mellal, Morocco, from 21st to 22nd December 2023. By organizing this event in collaboration with the laboratory of Biological Engineering, MSRT is showcasing a very attractive related program that aims to highlight and debate the major recent exciting advances but also hurdles in this field of stem cells. Topics that will be addressed will range from basic stem cell research, to cell and gene therapy clinical trials. Worldwide renown speakers and experts will share their scientific findings, clinical and industrial experience in this ground. Furthermore, such MSRT symposium will also be a relevant opportunity for colleagues (from students to established researchers) with basic and clinical science backgrounds, and professionals, from Morocco and abroad, to exchange, network and establish collaborative projects in this innovative and future-oriented field.

We look forward to your participation to this scientific event.

We wish you a pleasant symposium and an excellent stay in Beni-Mellal, the capital of Moroccan middle Atlas.

Warm regards
