• Disease modelling
• Vector design and gene editing
• Cell and gene therapy strategies
• Regenerative medicine
• Organoids
• Spatial transcriptomics
• Computational biology
• Developmental biology

The Symposium includes:

• Complimentary lunch

• Lightning talks
• Dedicated poster session
• Prizes and awards!
• Networking function facilitated immediately after the meeting, on-site!

Registration is FREE for all ASSCR members! Not a member yet? Sign up here - from $60 for a 1-year student membership. Registration for non-members is $ 40 AUD per delegate.

Abstracts are DUE BY JUNE 7th! Only 300 words and the title should be short and snappy!

About us:

The Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research (ASSCR) aims to support stem cell research and encourage scientific exchange across Australasia, build an active national and international stem cell research community, and provide all interested parties with the opportunity to access information relating to scientific, medical and ethical advances in the broad field of stem cell research. A particular emphasis of the ASSCR is also to communicate this information to the general public.
