Explore Upcoming Events Across the Field
Conferences, workshops, and training from the stem cell and regenerative medicine community. The ISSCR is not responsible for events listed, but provides them as a service to the field.
ICMB2026 (The International Conference on Molecular Biology 2026) is the third edition of a cross-disciplinary meeting bringing together leading and emerging scientists to discuss fundamental and translational advances in molecular and cellular regulation.
The 2026 JAX-NYSCF Conference will showcase visionary pioneers who shaped the stem cell field alongside emerging innovators driving its next era. Discover the breakthroughs shaping the field, spark new ideas for your own work, and be part of the community driving the future of biomedical research.
This workshop provides hands-on and theoretical training in gene-editing technologies for human pluripotent stem cells. It will cover the complete gene editing workflow.
This workshop will explore how variation in cell states, lineage architecture, and cellular dynamics contributes to evolutionary innovation. We will examine how alterations in lineage topology, timing, and spatial deployment can reshape organismal form, color, and function, and how regulatory changes become incorporated into existing gene regulatory networks to diversify or create new cell types.
Immunity by Design will cover: immune engineering and immune cell therapy, synthetic immunology, delivery technologies, and translational research, with an industry focus.
biology offer enormous potential benefits, while raising vexing ethical and policy issues. A team at the University of Minnesota has developed SpudCell — the first synthetic cell that can grow and reproduce, built from non-living chemicals. Scientists at Stanford and Arc Institute recently published on their successful use of AI to design new virus genomes. However, scientists have cautioned against creating organisms with molecules that are the mirror image of the biological components of known life, as existing organisms would have no immune defenses. Join three experts on synthetic biology, biosecurity, and bioethics to explore how to realize the promise of synthetic biology while controlling potential risks.
Started in 2002 and hosted by Bedford Research Foundation, David Albertini, and Ann Kiessling, this will be the 14th Symposium. The gathering is designed to accelerate progress by fostering open exchange, collaboration, and new ideas across disciplines. Researchers share their latest findings, challenge assumptions, and explore how advances in egg biology could lead to new treatments for infertility, genetic disease, and other currently incurable conditions.
Proteomics is entering a transformative era. As molecular research accelerates and technologies reshape the landscape of biomedicine, systems biology, and clinical diagnostics, EuPA 2026 will serve as a central forum to explore the latest advances, challenge current paradigms, and shape the future of our field.
