Narrowing The Gap Between Stem Cell Science And Cell Therapy
Location:
Mantra Lorne

The Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research aims to promote the disciplines of stem cell biology and therapies in Australasia, promote education and research, and to disseminate scientific information. Our specific objectives are to support and promote stem cell research and encourage scientific exchange within the region, and to provide all interested parties, including the general public, with the opportunity to access information relating to scientific, medical and ethical advances in the broad field of stem cell research.
International Society for Cellular Therapy (Australia and New Zealand region) is the regional chapter of the global society of clinicians, regulators, technologists, and industry partners with a shared vision to translate cellular therapy into safe and effective therapies to improve patients’ lives. ISCT members gain access to an influential global community of peers, experts, and organizations invested in cell therapy. ISCT offers a unique collaboration between academia, regulatory bodies, and industry partners in cell therapy translation.
Stem Cells Australia bring together leading experts in bioengineering, nanotechnology, stem cell biology, bioinformatics and clinical research to tackle the big questions in stem cell science. This Australian Research Council funded Special Research Initiative seeks to reveal fundamental mechanisms involved in stem cell regulation and differentiation, and translate this knowledge into innovative biotechnological and therapeutic applications. www.stemcellsaustralia.edu.au
This unique meeting is expected to attract over 250 participants in stem cell biology, bioengineering, bioinformatics, nanotechnology, regulatory affairs and clinical research from across Australia.
The program includes s essions dedicated to:
- Emerging Stem Cell Technologies
- Pluripotency and Reprogramming
- Regulatory Frameworks
- Tissue Engineering
- Transplantation and Immunotherapy
