“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.”
