Cell Therapies for Diabetes is a conference dedicated to the translation of scalable cell therapy approaches to create a curative therapy for diabetes.
Cell Therapies for Diabetes covers topics such as:
- The microstructure of the membrane material for encapsulation devices to prevent sensitization and rejection
- The oxygenation problem of implanted encapsulation devices to ensure full function of cells
- Scaffolding techniques and possibilities to overcome patients alloimmunity and autoimmunity
- The promise of gene editing for cell therapies in diabetes to prevent recognition by memory autoimmune cells in T1D patients
- Approaches to functionally mature stem cell-derived beta cells for therapy
- Techniques for immunosuppression and its feasibility
- Scalability to take cell replacement therapies to a commercial scale
- The importance of preclinical models as cell therapies for diabetes move towards the clinic
Cell Therapies for Diabetes brings together senior attendees from industry and academia as well as solution and service providers.
