Please register for this symposium during the online registration process for the conference.\n<\/p>\n<p>Despite the broad spectrum of established medical procedures, for many diseases no suitable treatment option is available. A particular challenge is the increasing number of degenerative diseases for which there are hardly any causal therapies due to the lack of donor organs. Innovative stem cell technologies offer tremendous potential for the development of new, customized cell-based therapies as well as for the creation of human disease models based on in vitro generated tissues and organoids. Such in vitro models can be of great value for both molecular pathology research and drug discovery. The efficacy and undesirable side effects of drugs can be tested in advance for specific groups of patients or individuals, contributing to the much-needed increase in drug development. The projects funded in this BMBF initiative are intended to help overcome existing barriers to the medical use of innovative stem cell technologies, thereby unlocking the potential of new stem cell technologies for individualized medicine. &nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47ae0eb e-con-full gm-supp e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"47ae0eb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-329b315 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"329b315\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1>Supporters<\/h1>\r\n        <p>\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmbf.de\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/BMBF_RGB_GEF_L_e.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><\/a><br \/>\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dlr.de\/pt\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/logo-pt-de.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><\/a><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dkfz.de\/en\/index.html\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_dkfz_en-1.gif\" border=\"0\" width=\"145\" \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cos.uni-heidelberg.de\/index.php\/sfb873?l=_e\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_SFB-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><\/a><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdc-berlin.de\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_MDC-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hi-stem.de\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_HI-STEM.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"135\" \/><\/a><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stammzellen.nrw.de\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_kns.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><\/a><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_Eppendorf.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_PeproTech.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            \r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_Miltenyi.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/Logo_Stemcell-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/takara-bio-2016.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gscn.sleware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/TS_logo_2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"155\" \/><br \/><br \/>\r\n\t\t<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d0d3e1 e-con-full gm-panesbottom e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0d0d3e1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6bf92c e-con-full gm-footer e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a6bf92c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33b47b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33b47b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gm-copyright\">&copy;
