Expand Possibilities.

Accelerate Your Research. 

The Scientific Content is Organized Around 6 Tracks

Clinical Applications

Highlighting the cellular therapy and tissue engineering research that is moving toward the clinic; examining manufacturing and upscaling and presenting clinical trial updates. 

Disease Modeling and Drug Discovery

Examining advances using stem cells in vivo and in vitro to model development and disease with applications for drug discovery and therapeutics. 

Ethics, Policy & STANDARDS

The ISSCR standing committees representing these three areas integral to stem cell research and regenerative medicine will each design a session for the annual meeting program to be held during the concurrent track sessions in the program.

New Technologies

Exploring the application of emerging technologies to stem cell research.

Pluripotency and Development

Understanding pluripotency and lineage commitment; exploring embryo and organ development.

Somatic Stem Cells, Cancer and Regeneration

Exploring somatic stem cell homeostasis and ageing, regeneration, stem cell-niche interactions, and stem cells in cancer. 

  • Discovery Starts here.

    The year’s most significant new advances in stem cell research and regenerative medicine comprise the ISSCR Annual Meeting scientific program. From Plenary Sessions, to Concurrent Tracks, to Focus Session and Innovation Showcases – there is something for everyone and aha! moments in abundance.

  • Collaboration starts here.

    Creating innovating partnerships that drive new discoveries and accelerate progress starts at the ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting. Be a part of the single most comprehensive event where best-in-class stem cell science and ample networking opportunities spark attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors to forge new relationships were ideas flourish.

  • Advocacy Starts Here.

    ISSCR engages in science advocacy to inform policymakers, drive change, and support investment in stem cell research and regenerative medicine that advances our field. Through our policy initiatives, the Society combats the escalating dangers posed by clinics offering unproven stem cell-based interventions, supports and defends stem cell science, and leads coalitions that protect access to vital research materials.

  • New Business Starts Here.

    The ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting creates space to business to flourish. With more than 4,000 attendees from across the globe, there is no better place to generate new leads, promote brand awareness, and put your company front and center with decision makers. Introduced in 2022, the Exhibit Hall Theater allows companies to demonstrate new products and innovations that support research.

  • Innovation Starts Here.

    New technologies. Inventive tools. Best-in-class research equipment. The ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting has it all from the robust Exhibit Hall, to Innovation Showcases, and in depth Focus Sessions, our scientific community needs to access the most robust tools in their pursuit of new breakthroughs. In person and virtual opportunities position companies with novel technologies to broaden their research and present case studies.

  • Member value start here.

    With ISSCR member organized sessions in the Science Spotlight Sessions and Meet-Up Hub, the ISSCR 2024 Annual meeting is a place where members are heard. On top of these sessions, ISSCR members have access to exclusive member registration rates. Connect with fellow ISSCR members during these sessions and during presentations to build new relationships.
