The International Forum on Stem Cells (IFSC) aims to foster international collaborations and multi-disciplinary programs on stem cell biology and translational research, and will be the 9th meeting in 2024. Organized by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the largest national center for medical research, education and patient care, the previous eight meetings were well received. Many internationally renowned stem cell researchers, such as Anthony Atala, Hal Broxmeyer, Alan D'Andrea, Elaine Dzierzak, Connie Eaves, Ihor Lemischka, Stuart Orkin, David Scadden, Toshio Suda, Irving Weissman, Ian Wilmut and many others, came to our meetings as speakers or conference co-chairs.

     This year’s IFSC will be held in Tianjin on Oct. 24-25, 2024. IFSC 2024 will focus on stem cells in general, with themes on fundamental stem cell research, regenerative medicine, as well as quality control standard for stem cells and the guidelines for their clinical research.

       Look forward to meeting you in Tianjin, China in the fall.
