The World Stem Cell Summit, held this year at the Baltimore Convention Center on Sept. 21-23, is the only conference that combines this mix of researchers, policy makers, business leaders, ethics and legal advocates to share, explore, and discuss the latest breakthroughs and advancements in the emerging field of stem cells.
Demonstrations and discussions will range from tracking how reprogrammed stem cells (iPSCs) might supersede the use of embryonic stem cells to stem cells use in regenerative medicine and how new devices such as a stem cell integrated fluidic circuits might soon automate and simplify the entire process.
Follow the latest on the conference arrangements on the web site and Twitter site. Story possibilities will be posted by participating universities and agencies on the conference news blog.
