The conference will start with an overview of the development and
validation of serum substitutes. “Paving the way for ethically sound
alternatives is crucial today for scientific advancements”, said Dr.
Lothar Steeb, Co-CEO&CSO PELOBiotech. In addition to getting
insights on the principles of cell culture and stem cells, presentations
will focus on applications and hands-on experiences in the lab. “We are
happy to have gained so many experts from the scientific community to
offer a great networking opportunity beyond their research fields”, said
Dr. Peter Frost, CEO PELOBIOTECH GmbH.
The focus of the conference is on networking and collaboration between scientists and experts in the field. An organized face-to-face lunch and breaks with the speakers will provide ample time for an exchange of views and further questions. A panel discussion with concluding remarks will provide an opportunity to ask for final follow-ups.
Attendees can expect an overview of numerous innovative applications throughout the day. Highlighted topics include serum-free media and serum alternatives, the stranslational applicability of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) in therapeutic contexts, the utilization of human adipocyte spheroids for obesity research, and the scalability of cardiac organoids for preclinical applications in cardiovascular research and pharmacology.
