Call for Abstracts
On behalf of STERMN and ATERMIS, we would like to announce a call for abstract for consideration for the 2018 STERMN Scientific Workshop
The goal of the STERMN scientific workshop is to bring together researchers in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and allied programs to present the best new scientific research in all areas of science and engineering related to medicine and public health. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by a scientific committee and will be considered for either oral or poster presentation.
Guidelines
Abstracts must be written in a standard scientific English and concise description of your work. Minimal or no use of mathematical modeling and scientific equations are recommended.
