Hear why past attendees value the ISSCR Annual Meeting!

  • "The caliber of the scientific content is excellent. The opportunity to connect with many different exhibitors and explore new products and collaborations is also very good."

  • "The meeting provides an invaluable opportunity to learn about the latest advances in stem cell biology, and as an early-career scientist, [the meeting] gives me the chance to present my research activity and establish collaborations with researchers working on complementary topics, improving the quality and impact of my work. "

  • "Incredible opportunity to see what is happening at the forefront of stem cell technology. Exceptional content from both academia and industry. I learn so much about the field, careers in the field, how to take discovery to the clinic, and potential collaborations."

  • "I think it is great to see others working in a similar field. Even if our research is on different topics, learning about shared methods and mechanisms is very useful."

  • "It provides a great overview of the stem cell field, from basic research to translation and clinical applications."
