PURPOSE & SCOPE
The purpose of California Tissue Engineering Meeting is to provide a forum for education and dissemination of research and development knowledge, for students and researchers in academics and industry, in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The meetings are open to all interested investigators, with a particular focus on students and young investigators within the State of California.
The meetings allow students and researchers to gain new knowledge across the broad tissue engineering field while providing a forum for young investigators to present and discuss their own work and an environment that will encourage exchange of information and collaboration between individuals, groups, and between academia & industry.

The California Tissue Engineering Meeting (CTEM) and the Los Angeles Tissue Engineering Initiative (LATEI) are pleased to endorse the upcoming Engineering Cell Biology meeting to be held in the Chaminade Resort in Santa Cruz on Aug 9-12, 2009. Registration and Call for Abstracts are now
open and may be accessed at the conference web site.
The Engineering Cell Biology meeting focuses on emerging design strategies for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The meeting will highlight quantitative principles for tuning individual cell behaviors and for engineering multicellular organization within complex
microenvironments.
The complete scientific program is attached. It includes the following sessions and speakers:
- Plenary Session: Jeff Hubbell (EPFL) and W. James Nelson
(Stanford University)
- Systems Analysis of Cellular Decision-Making: James
Ferrell, Doug Lauffenburger, Garry Nolan
- Spatial and Physical Aspects of Cell Regulation: Chris
Chen, Rick Horwiz, Tobias Meyer
- Mechanotransduction: a "Soft Touch" to Parsing Cell
Regulation: Dan Hammer, Michael Sheetz, Viola Vogel
- Lessons from the Niche: Toward Intelligent Synthetic
Scaffolds: Kristi Anseth, Andres Garcia, Linda Griffith
- Multicellular Morphodynamics: Shaping Multicellular
Structures: Doug DeSimone, Keith Mostov, Senthil
Muthuswamy
More details are available on the web at http://www.engconfintl.org/9ak.html or on the meeting flyer.
We believe the meeting may be of keen interest to you. The deadline for late-breaking abstracts for poster presentations is July 31, 2009. Please distribute this message to colleagues, postdocs and graduate students who may be interested in participating in the ECB meeting.
CTEM/LATEI members may be interested in the discounted registration fees that are available for local participants of the Engineering Cell Biology meeting. For local participants who do not plan to stay at the Chaminade Resort, the registration fees are:
Regular Attendee: $1166
Graduate Students: $766
These fees provide full access to the meeting, including lunch and dinner. Breakfast and a room in the Resort are not included in this fee.
When registering online, please indicate on the form that you are opting for the "Local Registration Option (no room/breakfast)"
We look forward to seeing you in August at the 2009 ECB meeting.
Best regards,
LATEI & CTEM Advisory Committee
