Exploring Regeneration
Through Omics.
Navigating the realm of regeneration through omics technologies
27th June, 2025
Bühlstrasse 26, 3012, Bern, Switzerland
About
About the Symposium
Many organisms can regenerate organs after injury. Advanced omics technologies are revealing insights into how cell fate, communication, and behavior are regulated during regeneration. With this inaugural symposium, we will unite experts in regeneration and omics to explore how molecular and cellular interactions drive regenerative processes across species. We will listen to how various species approach and achieve the repair of different organs by orchestrating their cells in a similar or model specific mechanism.
This symposium is directed to scientists of all stages of their scientific growth, from early-stage researchers to Principal Investigators, who see in the omics the key technology to understand and achieve tissue regeneration.
