Stem Cells in Human Development and Disease
Join the ISSCR in Cincinnati, USA in partnership with Center for Stem Cell & Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
Full Agenda | Program | Abstracts | Sponsor | Travel
Program Description: The discovery of signaling pathways and transcriptional networks during early development has been fundamental for understanding and harnessing the functionality of stem cells. These principles and insights have paved the way for the application and advancement of stem cells and stem cell-derived in vitro models in studying human development and disease, including novel cell-based therapeutic approaches. This meeting will explore the many ways in which developmental and stem cell biology intersect, propelling basic biology forward and bringing translational efforts closer to clinical applications.
Registration is now closed. In-person registration will re-open on site on Thursday, 4 April 2024.
