ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting

Hamburg, Germany

The global stem cell community gathered for a week of standout science, discovery, and networking at the ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting. With nearly 4,000 members joining us from around the world, we were able to effectively connect and share our wide array of thoughts, research, and perspectives through this event.

Through 350+ talks and nearly 1400 posters, presenters revealed breakthroughs in stem cell science and applications to human health. Whether you joined live or in-person for one of our 7 Plenary Sessions highlighting award winners and standout science in the field or joined one of our Special Sessions, your input and participation helped make the meeting a success.

For more than 20 years the International Society for Stem Cell Research has convened global leaders and the next generation of scientists for the ISSCR Annual Meeting. The conference sets a precedent for global collaboration, encourages excellence and rigor, and shines a bright light on regions of the world excelling in research and clinical applications.

Past ISSCR Annual Meetings

2024 ISSCR Copenhagen International Symposium

Copenhagen, Denmark

Scientific, academic, and industry leaders at the forefront of ESC and iPSC-derived cell therapies met in Copenhagen on 2-4 October 2024 to discuss the latest updates on ongoing clinical trials, as well as groundbreaking platforms and technologies that will revolutionize the next generation of cell therapies for devastating and intractable diseases.

The ISSCR International Symposia were designed to be smaller, more intimate meetings that bring together the world's leading experts in a specific area of stem cell science and/or application to share their research, build relationships and collaborations and move the field forward. 

Hosted in state-of-the-art venues across the globe, the program often highlights regional accomplishments by partnering with the host country or region's stem cell organizations and industry partners.

Previous Lawrence Goldstein Science Policy Fellows

2019-2021 Goldstein Policy Fellows

Zubin Master, PhD
Mayo Clinic, USA


Established in 2019, the ISSCR fellowship program honors ISSCR member Lawrence Goldstein, PhD, for his longstanding commitment to policy and public service. Dr. Goldstein's advocacy before local, state, and national policy makers continues to make a significant impact on the field. The ISSCR’s policy fellowship program continues that legacy by training ISSCR members to become policy advocates.

Goldstein Science Policy Fellows serve a three year term, gaining firsthand policy and regulatory experience. They serve as ex-officio members of the Public Policy Committee, are invited attend advocacy days, take on self-directed special initiatives, have opportunities to speak in ISSCR programs, and receive mentorship from a member of the policy committee.

If you’re interested in joining the next cohort of policy fellows, please contact us.
