Kathleen Sanen (collaborating PhD student at Hasselt University, Belgium) was awarded the prize for best oral presentation at the Cell-based therapies in central nervous system pathology symposium on April 12th 2013. This symposium covered a series of biological subjects relating to stem cells, their involvement in brain disease and trauma and their potential use in regenerative medicine. Kathleen presented her preliminary findings on the use of glial-differentiated human dental pulp stem cells in Engineered Neural Tissue to support and direct neurite outgrowth in vitro, and answered questions from the audience and invited speakers.
