We have tremendous opportunities in the society for early career scientists both at the 2022 Annual Meeting and throughout they year, I thought it was the perfect time to share all of the ways to engage.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is pleased to announce the results of its 2022 election.

It should come as no surprise that as basic stem cell science is translated to the clinic, the breadth of our scientific programming and the needs of our global society are evolving.

A recent study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports has identified new ways to potentially enhance the SC-beta cell survivability through genetic manipulation of the cells.

Universally accepted characterization standards for pluripotent stem cell research are needed to improve the rigor and reproducibility of stem cell research. As the foremost international stem cell research society with a reputation for scientific and ethical rigor, the ISSCR is uniquely positioned to develop and propose research standards that can be widely adopted worldwide.

Last December, nearly 40 professionals with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gathered with ISSCR leaders to discuss advances in the development of stem cell therapies.

Stem cell scientists and leaders are recognized with the 2022 ISSCR Awards for their significant scientific contributions to stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Honorees will be recognized at ISSCR 2022 San Francisco + Virtual, the society's hallmark annual meeting 15-18 June 2022.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) will present this year’s ISSCR Momentum Award to Joanna Wysocka, Ph.D., Lorry Lokey Professor and Professor of Developmental Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine and HHMI Investigator,

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is honoring Jennifer E. Phillips-Cremins, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Deans’ Faculty Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Departments of Genetics and Bioengineering, with the 2022 ISSCR Dr. Susan Lim Award for Outstanding Young Investigator.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is honoring Sean J. Morrison, Ph.D., Director of Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI), USA, with the 2022 ISSCR Public Service Award. The prize recognizes the outstanding contributions of public service to the fields of stem cell research and regenerative medicine.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) will award its 2022 Achievement Award to Lorenz Studer, M.D., Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), USA. The prize recognizes the transformative body of work of an investigator that has had a major impact on the field of stem cell research or regenerative medicine.
