With the growing availability of cultured organoids, and the increasing generation and use of pluripotent stem cells and their differentiation progeny, there is a need for revision and update of the GCCP guidelines with these new technologies. This includes quality assurance of supplied biological materials as well as consideration of ethical and legal aspects. This symposium has the focus on GCCP regarding human cells and tissues and the quality assurance of cells obtained by reprogramming.
When: December 3rd 2015, 09:00 – 16:00
Where: Konzil Konstanz (Council of Konstanz Building), Konstanz, Germany
