title: Stem cell technologies in regenerative medicine.
abstract: The IIR Life Sciences conference on stem cell technologies in regenerative medicine was held in London, UK on 11 - 12 July 2002. The conference covered not only technologies but also ethical/regulatory and financial aspects of embryonic stem (ES) cell therapy. An excellent introduction to embryonic stem cells was given by Prof. William Kridel (Ferghana Partners, London, UK). Details of basic technologies are not described as they are covered in a detailed report on cell therapy [1]. Due to limitation of space only a selected few of the seventeen presentations are reported here.
