International Symposium Mail [email protected] › Skin and bone regeneration of the Transregio 67 › From innovation to product 2016 i › Highlights from the TRR67 Location We are very happy to announce the participation of internationally reknown key note speakers who will cover these topics. In addition, Studienzentrum of Leipzig University June 24-25 Leipzig Germany we will present the most interesting projects from our collaborative Liebigstr. 27 research centre. Moreover, the city of Leipzig situated in the heart 04103 Leipzig of Europe has a rich history both in culture and science and offers a multitude of historic sites to visit. We are very grateful to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Technische Universität Dresden and the Leipzig University for their support of our meeting of our Symposium. We hope, we see you in Leipzig. Jan C.
