This one and a half-day symposium, organized by the Innovation Focus Cell Therapies of the University Hospital Basel, will be held on January 23-24, 2025.

Our program will showcase cutting-edge research on non-engineered lymphocytes, engineered lymphocytes, providing latest advancements in cell therapies and insights into engineered stem cells. This meeting aims to foster interaction and exchange of scientific ideas among clinicians, scientists and other stakeholders in the field.

The Awards have a strong tradition in the scientific and medical community in Basel, being very much appreciated by the junior group members.

The Awards are being sponsored by the Stiftung für hämatologische Forschung, intiated by the late Prof. Bruno Speck, the long-time Head of Hematology in Basel and pioneer of the stem cell transplantation in Switzerland.

New home for the award in 2024:

We invite all research groups in the scientific and medical institutions in Basel to submit their papers in the field of stem cell research and cellular therapy (published 1.7.2023-30.6.2024). There will be one award for the best basic science paper and one award for a clinically-oriented paper.

Eligibility: the majority of the work needs to have been performed in the Basel area.

The Bruno Speck Awards 2024 will be presented at the 2nd Basel Cell Therapy Symposium 2025 on January 23-24, 2025 in Basel.
