Quality Standards for Stem Cell Research

Join members of the ISSCR's Stem Cell Research Standards Task Force for a half-day meeting to learn about the initiative to develop quality standards for stem cell research to improve rigor and reproducibility. Standards set researchers up for success, ensure rigor in preclinical research, and ultimately strengthen the pipeline of therapies for patients. Learn more about the initiative here.

Time: 8:00 AM - 1:30 PM Pacific Time
Location: San Francisco Marriott Marquis
Fee: $25.00 USD for ISSCR members/$100.00 for non-members. Fee includes lunch.
