The latest developments in national and international stem cell research will be showcased this year at the 15th ASSCR Annual Meeting, and you are invited to join us!
More than 150 scientists will take part in a full 3-day program. From Plenary Sessions to concurrent workshops and innovation showcase we have prepared something for everyone.
In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages. The event aims to start new collaborations, creating novel ideas and partnerships. Ample network opportunities will be available through our carefully planned social events. Networking and new business opportunities start here.
This year our Annual Meeting will be held at the Australian Maritime Museum, in Sydney, a wonderful location that promises to bring together stem cell biologists from a multidisciplinary background and highlight how stem cells can be used to understand development, create disease models and develop new treatments. These areas dovetail with new advances in cell and gene therapies and regenerative medicine, and how these technologies are moving into the clinic. Complementing the idea of cell replacement, the conference will address advances in the field and embrace the translational aspects of this research.
