ISSCR 2023 Annual Meeting

Boston, USA

The global stem cell community gathered for a week of standout science, discovery, and networking at the ISSCR 2023 Annual Meeting. With nearly 3,000 members joining us in Boston and nearly 600 participating virtually, we were able to effectively connect and share our wide array of thoughts, research, and perspectives through this event.

Through 370+ talks and 1150+ 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 or Workshops, 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.

2023 ISSCR Vienna International Symposium

Vienna, Austria

Scientific, academic, and industry leaders met in Vienna, Austria on 4-6 December 2023 to discuss the development and regeneration. From tissue self-organization and tissue mechanics to genetic programs, developmental timing, and morphogen gradients, this intimate, three-day meeting brought scientists together with the common goal of better understand the fundamental biological concepts surrounding development.

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.
