“The best part of being a researcher is the ability to publish my research and obtain valuable feedback from other researchers worldwide”.

“I am excited about the possibility that the 10 HLA-homozygous induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines that we have recently established from frozen cord blood samples can cover more than 40% of the Korean population, and be used to treat diverse Asian populations”.

“I also respect the advocacy efforts of ISSCR to ensure our field has access to resources and cells necessary to do research and make translational advances”.

“I think the ISSCR provides me the largest platform to show our findings and it’s an international community where people share each other’s progress”.

“Experiencing the entire breadth of the ISSCR during the annual meetings makes me proud to be a society member. To see the translational work, fundamental science breakthroughs, and public policy and ethics advocacy is great inspiration”.
