International speakers

Professor Frank Barry, National University of Ireland

The host response to allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)

Professor Barry is a principle investigator at the Regenerative Medicine Institute.  He directs a large group of researchers who focus on the development of new repair strategies in stem cell therapy and gene therapy in orthopaedics.

Professor Katarina Le Blanc, Karolinska Institute and Huddinge Hospital, Sweden    

The impact of MSCs on the innate and adaptive immune systems

and

The role of MSCs in the management of graft-versus-host disease and other serious diseases

Professor Le Blanc pioneered the use of mesenchymal stromal cells to treat graft-versus-host disease, which is a common and sometimes fatal complication of bone marrow transplants. She has also investigated the immunological properties of these cells in an attempt to determine their method of action.
