Regenerative medicine
The Medical Innovation Forum provides networking environment to facilitate technology transfer in regenerative medicine and enables participants to gain a better understanding of clinical needs. It brings together those involved in medical engineering, materials science, cell therapy, tissue engineering, regenerative drugs and medical devices.
A programme of roundtable discussion groups are being staged so as to bring together participants who share common interests.
