Stem cell science and regenerative medicine are quickly advancing how we understand disease and translate that expanding knowledge into new therapies for the world’s most devastating diseases. This is a global endeavor, and the ISSCR recognizes the vital role stem cell and regenerative medicine institutes and centers contribute to nurturing and investing in new breakthroughs in our field. To help foster this community, the society has created a community of directors who lead organizations that adhere to widely held principles to conduct research with scientific and ethical integrity. Our International Circle of Stem Cell Institute and Center Directors will provide points of connection and resources to support institutes, labs, scientists, and local communities. We hope you will join us.

Connection and Community
Make valuable connections with our global community of stem cell institute and center directors in our collaborative virtual community and through evolving opportunities to meet in person. The ISSCR will convene virtual meetings throughout the year to better define and discuss common issues across institutes and centers. Participation in the Circle provides institutes global visibility through the ISSCR web site, access to new avenues to amplify your center’s activities and achievements, and public-facing information about stem cell science and the status of research on a number of diseases. An in-person summit for Circle participants is planned for June 2022, in conjunction with ISSCR 2022 in San Francisco.

DIRECTORY OF PARTICIPANTS
The ISSCR lists all participating stem cell and regenerative medicine institutes and centers prominently on our web site, including your institute's name, logo, location, director, URL and description, providing you with the global visibility of the ISSCR's constituency.
