When will stem cells restore vision, treat diabetes or replace damaged skin?
2,500+ stem cell scientists under one roof will be discussing: How will CRISPR gene editing change medicine? Can stem cells heal broken hearts? What can we learn about regeneration from axolotls and zebrafish? What’s the economic potential of gene and cell therapies? How do we safely trial and commercialise stem cell medicines?
The International Society for Stem Cell Research 2018 Annual Meeting, bringing global stem cell science to Australia, will be held from 20 to 23 June 2018 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. It will cover topics including cancer stem cells, stem cells as a tool for studying diseases, organoid ‘mini organ’ research, gene therapy and CRISPR gene editing, and progressing gene and cell therapies to the clinic.
Below are the media releases, media alerts and other news items related to the Meeting.
News and interesting content from the Meeting will be tweeted from @ISSCR and using #ISSCR2018.
