Within t he framework of this cooperation agreement, high-profile joint symposia on topics of global relevance will be organized on a regular basis.The first L eopoldina-KAST Joint Conference will be dedicated to the discussion of key issues in regenerative medicine with a special focus on stem cell research and regenerative therapies. Renowned scientists from Germany and South Kore a will address current trends in these fields of research and discuss possi ble options for future scientific cooperation. Moreover, “meet the expert s essions” will be arranged to give young Korean scientists the chance to dir ectly interact with the experienced researchers from Germany and Korea.The Conference is organized under the joint leadership of Professor Henning Bei er ML from the University of Aachen and Professor Il-Hoan Oh from the Medic al School of the Catholic University of Korea. The Leopoldina Presidium wil l be represented by Baerbel Friedrich ML, Vice President of the Leopoldina and Professor of Microbiology at the Humboldt University, Berlin.Each confe rence day will be begin with a key note speech by an internationally renown ed expert in the field of regenerative medicine: On day one, V. Narry Kim w ill speak on the topic of “microRNA regulation in stem cells”. The second d ay will be opened by Hans Schoeler ML with a speech on “Reprogramming to To ti-, Pluri- and Multipotency”. \n\nList of Korean and German researchers p articipating in the Leopoldina-KAST Joint Conference:\n\n Henning M Beier MLProfessor of Anatomy and Reproductive Biology, Institute of Molecular and Cellular Anatomy, RWTH University of Aachen Oliver Bruestle MLProfessor of Reconstructive Neurobiology, Institute of Reconstructive Neurobiology, Bon nTobias CantzRegenerative Biology and Reconstructive Therapy (Excellence Cl uster), Hannover Medical SchoolHyung-Min ChungProfessor of Biomedical Scien ce, CHA University College of Medicine, Gyeongghi-doYong-Mahn HanKAISTAntho ny HoProfessor of Internal Medicine, University Clinic of Haematology and O ncology, HeidelbergNoo Li JeonSeoul National UniversityJeong-Bum KimAssista nt Professor, School of Nano-Bioscience and Chemical Engineering, Ulsan Nat ional Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), UlsanV.
