The Swiss Medical Network is organising the Regenerative Day at the Genolier Innovation Hub on 21 November 2025. The target group includes specialists and therapists from orthopaedics, pain therapy, sports medicine, anaesthesia, radiology and physiotherapy.
Participants will receive a practical overview of the clinical application of orthobiologics, stem cell therapies, tendon regeneration and biobanking of adipose stem cells. Renowned speakers from Switzerland and leading international experts will share their experiences, followed by interactive Q&A sessions and a round table on the future of regenerative medicine.
The event is eligible for continuing education credits.
