Description & Objectives:

The 4th ECTORS Meeting brings together leading scientists, clinicians and early-career researchers to explore the latest advances in cellular therapies and regenerative medicine in organ transplantation.

Over two highly focused days, participants will benefit from a dynamic mix of invited lectures and abstract presentations, delivering cutting-edge science and translational insight. The scientific programme will address key and emerging topics, including stem cell applications, machine perfusion, organ preservation and regeneration, bioprinting and organ-on-chip technologies, immune engineering, xenotransplantation and innovative regenerative medicine strategies to improve transplant outcomes.

This year’s edition will also feature an exclusive hands-on laboratory session delivered using state-of-the-art techniques, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage directly with advanced experimental approaches.

Why this meeting matters

As a small- to medium-sized, in-person scientific meeting dedicated specifically to stem cell research and regenerative medicine in the context of organ transplantation, the 4th ECTORS Meeting creates a highly focused environment for meaningful scientific exchange.
Its format enables a high density of information, close interaction between experts and early-career professionals, and in-depth discussion of a rapidly evolving field that is shaping the future of transplantation.

By attending the meeting, participants will:

  • Hear the latest developments in clinical regeneration

  • Gain up-to-date insight into immunomodulatory cell therapies in transplantation

  • Learn about the introduction of cell-based therapies in machine perfusion

  • Discover novel advances in organoid research and their potential applications in transplantation

 

Target Group:

Researchers and clinicians from the transplant field interested in regenerative medicine.
