Welcome to the 17th Annual Hilton Head Workshop

Join us for the 2013 meeting which attracts leading scientists, engineers, clinicians and industry participants to discuss the latest cutting edge research in the regenerative medicine field. The 17th Annual Hilton Head Workshop, March 20-23, 2013, is entitled "Regenerative Medicine: Technologies Enabling Novel Therapies."

Held at the beautiful Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, the goals of the workshop are to bring this community together in an intimate, "Gordon-conference style" forum to share the latest insights and discoveries in this rapidly progressing field. The program is structured to allow ample opportunity for participants to interact with each other, both within the formal sessions and informally at other times.

Active researchers who are interested in keeping pace with the latest developments in regenerative medicine are encouraged to participate. This workshop sells out each year so we encourage you to register early. 

Preceding the annual workshop, is a short course entitled, “ECM in Regenerative Medicine: “What is the Matrix? The answer is out there and looking for you!" on March 20th.  The program for the short course will be up by the end of August.  There is a separate registration fee to attend the one day workshop with leaders from that field.

ABSTRACT DEADLINE is DECEMBER 15, 2012.  The abstract submission process will open on August 15, 2012.

As usual the 1 room format and high percentage of high quality talks set the stage for a great weekend of scientific exchange.

I felt that there was a good balance between the biological and engineering content of the meeting.

Nice breadth of experience and subject matter.

The debates have been great the past two years!  Keep them coming!

Got a lot out of it - including potential collaborations.

Extremely well organized, every event went seamlessly.

Great diversity of topics & backgrounds of the speakers that complement the talks from the abstracts.

Overall the keynotes were excellent.

High-quality speakers who are "the" leaders in their respective fields.

Best run meeting out of any that I attend annually
