1 Lugano Stem Cell Meeting Cardiocentro Ticino Lugano Switzerland 1 st -2 nd July 2008 PRELIMINARY PROGRAM UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF

2 Lugano Stem Cell Meeting In this first edition of the Lugano Stem Cell Meeting we would like to offer the opportunity to interact with the most important key opinion-leaders on stem cells. The first day focuses on GMP regulation of stem cell therapies and process manufacturing by listening to people directly involved in this field. Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine will also be widely discussed during the meeting. The second day is dedicated to the latest benchmarking and some ongoing clinical trials focusing on cellular therapy after acute STEMI and in chronic ischemic diseases. The meeting concludes with a discussion regarding present controversies and future challenges. Excellent talks and live cases from our cath-lab will improve the knowledge of these exciting topics. SCM can be followed entirely (from Tuesday 1 st July 9:50 a.m. to Wednesday 2 nd July 3:15 p.m.) or one day only. Learning objectives Update on current EU regulation on human cell-based medicinal products GMP translation of cell processing Critical discussions over the most debated topics of regenerative medicine Knowledge on ongoing clinical trials in patients after STEMI and with chronic ischemic diseases Understand and face current controversies and learn more about defining the optimal patient that could profit from cellular therapy Targeted audience Biologists Biotechnologists People involved in GMP processing (QA, QC, RA) Cardiologists Internists General practitioners On 2 nd July at 2:00 p.m. will start MTE 2008, 5 th Interventional Symposium on High Risk Coronary Intervention (common part until 3:15 p.m.). Please clearly tick in the registration form the sessions you will attend. We look forward to welcoming you in Lugano. With best regards Giuseppe Astori, Tiziano Moccetti, Gianni Soldati, Daniel Sürder
