In keeping with Oxford Global’s highly successful biologics congress series, an expert panel of over 80 speakers will present a full conference programme covering the topics outlined below. These topics have been compiled as a result of a comprehensive research process undertaken with our advisory board members including Professors, Senior Research Fellows and Directors from leading academic and research institutions.
Co-located with the established 5th Annual Cell Culture & Bioprocessing Congress and 2nd Annual Cell & Gene Therapy Congress the 3rd Annual Stem Cell Congress – organised by Oxford Global Ltd. – will be held on November 3 – 4, 2016 in London, UK at the Radisson Blu Portman Hotel.
