This is a fantastic conference and for RegMed XB especially the second day is relevant as the recently granted Gravitation program “Materials-Driven Regeneration”, spearheaded by Carlijn Bouten, in collaboration with partners from Regenerative Medicine Utrecht (RMU) and the Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine (MERLN) in Maastricht, will be presented by the Consortium members. The central goal of this program is to investigate, design and use intelligent biomaterials that drive and reinforce the body’s own regenerative power to contribute to the curing of a number of chronic diseases. It excites us that renowned speakers will headline their cutting-edge strategies in the area of biomaterials for the benefit of regenerative medicine during this Symposium.
