ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

The Center for Advanced Biomanufacturing at the University of Virginia is bringing together experts from industry, government, non-profits and academia to discuss foundational research, technology development and product commercialization toward creating an advanced biomanufacturing industry for the United States. Our invited speakers and panelists will discuss ongoing research in biofabrication and cell manufacturing, government funding and regulatory considerations for biomanufactured tissues and organs, and clinical implementation of regenerative medicine products.
