meetings & events across the field
Conferences, workshops, and training from the stem cell and regenerative medicine community. The ISSCR is not responsible for events listed, but provides them as a service to the field.
Webinar: Frontiers in Synthetic Biology: SpudCells, Mirror Life & Societal Implications
biology offer enormous potential benefits, while raising vexing ethical and policy issues. A team at the University of Minnesota has developed SpudCell — the first synthetic cell that can grow and reproduce, built from non-living chemicals. Scientists at Stanford and Arc Institute recently published on their successful use of AI to design new virus genomes. However, scientists have cautioned against creating organisms with molecules that are the mirror image of the biological components of known life, as existing organisms would have no immune defenses. Join three experts on synthetic biology, biosecurity, and bioethics to explore how to realize the promise of synthetic biology while controlling potential risks.
Webinar: From the lab to the clinic: the development of stem cell-derived autologous dopamine neuron replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease
This recent webinar provides the most recent update on the autologous cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease’s (PD) progress and its clinical trial progress.
GetHIRED! Course
GetHIRED! is a 12-week course offered by the Society for Developmental Biology to help postdocs prepare materials for going on the academic job market.
Strengthening the Regenerative Medicine Workforce Webinar
The goal of the webinar is to inform a broader audience about the Forum’s recent work on regenerative medicine workforce development, highlight the importance of soft skills in this field, and better understand workforce challenges and opportunities for closing training gaps.
