Concurrent sessions allow for close examination of focused topics from across the spectrum of stem cell research. Each concurrent session, framed by a brief topic overview, includes one or two invited speakers whose work highlights leading research in the field along with up to six abstract-selected speakers who collectively highlight some of the most exciting and current work on the topic. Five concurrent sessions are held in parallel and attendees are encouraged to move between sessions to hear talks of interest. Organized by the ISSCR Annual Meeting Program Committee. View the Full Schedule for dates and times of Concurrent Sessions.
Four core themes will be carried throughout 20 concurrent sessions. Each theme will be explored in different cell and tissue contexts: Cardiac and Muscle; Early Embryo and Pluripotency; Endodermal, Epithelial and Mesenchymal; Hematopoietic and Endothelial; Neural.
