International Society for Stem Cell Research

Thank you to all sponsors of the ISSCR 2025 Annual Meeting, including our Diamond Sponsor STEMCELL Technologies! Your support makes it possible to share the year’s most significant advances in stem cell research and regenerative medicine with scientists across the globe.

"This month, I’ve had the privilege to talk with Melissa Carpenter and Tennielle Ludwig, the chair and vice chair of the Manufacturing, Clinical Trials, and Regulatory Committee (MCTR), and to learn more about the work of the Public Policy Committee, led by Sean Morrison. The contributions they are making address critical priorities of the ISSCR and reinforce why membership in the Society is so vital."

I am excited to share that the ISSCR Education Committee that I am chair of is preparing an exciting CME course (on demand and open access!) to educate clinicians in the rapidly evolving field of stem cell medicine. We believe this will provide a great tool to help practicing physicians guide themselves and advise patients on available stem cell therapies and trials. Produced with the unwavering support of the International Society for Stem Cell Research staff and in partnership with Harvard Medical School, the first unit will be released next year! It is the hard work of the wonderful team of stem cell scientists and physicians that forms the ISSCR education committee and that I have the privilege to work with.

Thanks Martin Pera for including me on the latest episode of The Stem Cell Report podcast titled "Guidelines for managing the digital phenotypes of stem cells." Listen to the episode to learn more about my research. International Society for Stem Cell Research University of Melbourne Andreas Kurtz
