This meeting will proceed in-person. If you are currently unable to register due to temporary travel restrictions, you can sign up for updates here for this specific conference only. Our team will keep you updated regarding deadline reminders and grant opportunities. We hope this service is helpful if your organisation still restricts travel.
The different epithelial stem/progenitor cells identified so far in the different regions of the lung interact with specific stromal, and physical/mechanical, niches. Some of these niches have recently been characterized. These niches dictate the quiescence of the epithelial stem/progenitor cells, as well as their re-entry into the cell cycle and subsequent differentiation. The mesenchyme, which gives rise to different stromal cell niches has so far been understudied during development, homeostasis, injury/repair and disease development. Similarly, the effects on stem cells of the physical/mechanical properties of their local environment are just beginning to be explored.
Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Fully paying academics can bring a student for only €882. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 05, 06, 07 October 2023 (on a shared basis for students) and a food and beverage package for the conference period. Once registered, please contact Jack Peters to obtain a special registration link for your student.

The objective of this meeting is to bring together the scientific community interested in niche-epithelial stem/progenitor interaction during lung development, homeostasis and disease. It is proposed that developmental mechanisms are redeployed in the repair process and during disease progression.
The identification of the critical pathways and understanding their function will open the way to their manipulation to enhance the repair process. In particular we propose to bring the audience up to date on:
1) the characterization of the different stromal niches along the proximal-distal axis of the lung during development, homeostasis, injury/repair;
2) the characterization of in vitro assays to test/validate the quality of the stromal cell niches in supporting epithelial stem/progenitor cells (3D organoid-based models involving co-culture of stromal cell niches and epithelial/stem progenitor cells);
3) the identification of drugs affecting the niche-epithelial stem/progenitor cell interaction

We are excited to be adding a beautiful Adriatic destination to our portfolio for autumn 2023 – the Sun Gardens Dubrovnik in Croatia. The resort is nestled into the hillside with uninterrupted, stunning views of the ocean.
This beautiful hotel is located only 11 km from Dubrovnik city centre, in the small village of Orašac, nestled amongst the citrus groves, palm trees and gorgeous blue sea that characterize the city, The Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with magnificent defensive walls surrounding it, is just one of the wonderful places to visit. With stunning architecture, scenic walks, wine tasting, boat trips and beautiful beaches, there is plenty to inspire when exploring beyond the hotel. We truly believe Croatia will become a firm favourite with our delegates.
The hotel boasts several wonderful dining options with a mix of Dalmatian, Mediterranean, international and fusion culinary experiences. Or you may want to take in the stunning views of the sea and the nearby islands as you unwind, relax and catch up on the day’s events in one of the hotels bars. Pools, a promenade, spa, sports centre and beaches are just a few of the other facilities you will find available during your stay.
This is not an all-inclusive property, but we have arranged a full food and beverage package for delegates during the conference period which is included within the registration fee. Breakfast will be at leisure each morning, but participants will dine together for conference lunches and dinners. For anyone staying any extra nights, the rate will be bed and breakfast only so delegates can choose whether to dine at the hotel or explore and eat elsewhere.
Hotel facilities include;
• Complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms and throughout hotel and conference areas
• 3 Pools
• Spa
• Gym & Sports Center

The hotel is approximately 40 minutes from Dubrovnik Airport, the second largest international airport in Croatia. Europeans will find this fairly easy to get to and from New York also offer a direct flight option for anyone travelling from the US. The most common flights into Dubrovnik are from Zagreb and Frankfurt so these are popular choices for interconnecting flights.
Airport transfer details and recommended suppliers will be available shorlty.
