The inaugural Sydney University Tissue Engineering Symposium (SuTEN), held on Thursday the 23rd of November, 2006, at the Darlington Center, University of Sydney was a gathering of scientists and students from tissue engineering, basic science and medicine.

It was an excellent opportunity to meet the multidisciplinary talents within the University of Sydney. Accordingly, the symposium marked the foundation of the SuTEN.

One of the objectives of this network is to gather and share information about our interests, expertise, and facilities to help identify complimentary skills and potential collaborations.
