Exhibitors

Progress to Therapy 2012 is designed to help accelerate the speed with which new stem cell and regenerative medicine ideas become products that bring benefits to patients. The first day will focus on therapies for cardiovascular disease, whilst days 2 and 3 will examine a range of Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs) and address key issues in clinical trials, regulation, imaging, manufacturing, reimbursement and business models.
Expected attendance is between 200 - 300 from the biological medicines sector in the UK and Europe where delegates will range from Chief Executives to PhD students and bring together companies and academic groups committed to the translation and development of regenerative medicine research.
The conference offers a range of Exhibitor and Sponsor opportunities, for more information download the Exhibitor/Sponsor Prospectus.
