The closing conference of the 'Regenerative medicine in Europe' (Remedie) project will take place from 18 to 19 April 2011 in Bilbao, Spain.

The conference will announce the principal findings of the Remedie project. The project has explored developments in the political, socio-economic, legal and bioethical domains in the field of regenerative medicine (RM), both in Europe and at the global level.

Regenerative medicine involves the application of novel biomaterials - specifically cells (including stem cells), genes (via gene therapy) and biodegradable scaffolding materials, to achieve a regenerative effect, i.e. technologies aimed at stimulating or augmenting the human body's inherent capacity for self-repair.

Findings will be presented through an integrated series of presentations that cover these domains and their implications for clinical translation, and for regulatory policy. The key issues covered include:
- geographical and technological stratification of the European RM sector;
- the distinctive innovation and governance models being developed in India, China and Japan;
- the specific challenges associated with developing large-scale trials and pressures towards harmonisation across Europe;
- the emergence of indirect forms of commercialisation and the regulatory challenges that need to be addressed.
- the emergence of distinctive and competing bioethical networks that frame RM in very different ways.For further information, please visit: www.york.ac.uk/satsu/remedie/events/
