U3B is a premier platform for researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and students to share cutting-edge developments in biomaterials science, biofabrication, and bioengineering. The conference aims to foster collaboration between academia and industry and promote innovation in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Attendees will engage with world-renowned experts, participate in interactive workshops, and explore the latest technological advances shaping the future of healthcare. The event features keynote presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions, and networking opportunities to facilitate meaningful connections and knowledge exchange.
November 5-7, 2025
The inaugural MENA Conference on Living Therapeutics gathers global innovators in cell therapy, organ-on-a-chip, gene editing, and biofabrication to shape the future of living medicines. Hosted at NYU Abu Dhabi, 5–7 November 2025, the three-day program blends visionary keynotes, interactive panels, startup showcases, and practical workshops on clinical translation, regulation, and scalable manufacturing. Join researchers, clinicians, investors, and policymakers in dynamic Abu Dhabi to exchange ideas, spark collaborations, and accelerate the next generation of precise, patient-specific therapies.
Engineering conducts a well-structured seminar series with speakers and experts from the region and around the globe.
