-
Support the field.
Membership directly supports ISSCR initiatives to convene scientists, advocate for the field, establish guidelines and standards, and ensure rigor and ethics in all areas of practice.
-
A mark of excellence.
Membership is more than a meeting discount. It indicates dedication to ethical and rigorous research, and to the future of the field.

“As a scientist exploring what can be learned from approaches inspired by but not strictly limited to stem cell research, the ISSCR community has been fundamental in giving me a broader outlook on the evolving technologies and concepts of the field. I have been a member of the ISSCR for 14 years and since then felt at the core of the global stem cell community.”
