On Friday, June 23, more than 75 scientists and researchers gathered at the ǧƵ for the inaugural Bell Center Symposium. The one-day symposium highlighted the latest discoveries in  regenerative biology and tissue engineering, cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, imaging and more.

"The symposium was a perfect venue to showcase the exciting science and tremendous discoveries being made in the Bell Center and beyond," said Jennifer Morgan, Director of the Eugene Bell Center for Regenerative Biology and Tissue Engineering at the ǧƵ.

"We also came together to honor the legacy of Dr. Eugene Bell, for whom the Center is named, and his many contributions to the field of tissue engineering and to the ǧƵ. Many new ideas and collaborations have emerged from the symposium, which will carry us forward in the coming years," said Morgan.

The symposium was capped by a Friday Evening Lecture presented by Jeffrey Hubbell, Eugene Bell Professor in Tissue Engineering and Vice Dean and Co-Director, University of Chicago Immunoengineering Innovation Center.
