BBT researchers attend the TERMIS EU 2019 Meeting

Four members of the BBT have attended TERMIS EU 2019 (Tissue Engineering Therapies: From Concept to Clinical Translation & Commercialisation), held in Rhodes (Greece) from the 27th to the 31st of May, 2019.

TERMIS is the most prominent organisation in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine globally. The programme of TERMIS EU 2019 included specific workshops and symposia in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine tools, technologies and discoveries; clinical trials; regulatory approval of new devices; scaling up; commercialisation; career development of young investigators; women leadership and representation; education; and outreach.

During the meeting, different works from the BBT were presented:
