Although differentiated cells were thought to be post-mitotic, we now know they can reprogram, re-enter the cell cycle, and spawn other lineages. This conference explores the underlying mechanisms, enhancing our understanding of disease pathogenesis and potential new therapies.
Stem Cells: B2B – Bench to Bedside
Bringing together researchers from different disciplines with an interest in FGF biology/biochemistry and clinical applications to meet each other, to discuss their projects and to initiate new and in some cases highly interdisciplinary research projects and collaborations.
This conference will focus on understanding key processes underlying lung development, injury and repair in the context of age, environment and species, with the hope of better understanding disease development and to discover novel therapeutic approaches.
The conference will bring together basic, translational and clinical investigators to discuss the current and future directions, opportunities and obstacles in the development of anti-cancer modalities and how to best apply these concepts in clinical practice.
Cell competition represents a radical departure from the established view that embryonic development is simply a matter of following a preprogrammed set of rules. This conference brings together researchers from diverse fields who study competitive and cooperative interactions between cells.
The conference will bring together researchers interested in better characterizing the non-random organization of the genome while also revealing how this organization is influenced by various cues or disease conditions.
The conference will bring together leaders from diverse fields such as embryonic cortical development, adult neurogenesis, human imaging, and stem cell-based neural disease modelling to discuss recent advances in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating neural stem cell activity.
Developmental, Metabolic and (Epi)Genomic Mechanisms Driving Organogenesis and Tumorigenesis
30% of the course programme covers lectures and tutorials on generating transgenic mice, and corresponding microscopy and micromanipulation techniques by experts in the field. The other 70% focuses on hands-on practical work organised in small groups.
Presenting techniques for dissection and dissociation of subpopulations of mouse and human mammary, including stem/progenitor, cells. Covering flow cytometry to separate single cell populations for consequent in vitro and in vivo analysis to assess stem cell activity and gene function.

A conference from the Danish Stem Cell Society
The conference will discuss the role of metabolism in controlling cell fate and function in multiple contexts including cancer, tissue regeneration, immune responses and aging.
The meeting will discuss the basic biological principles that govern cell death, cell stress and metabolism, focusing on how cellular stress and alterations in metabolism influence the cellular death programs such as apoptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis.
The 4th Eurogenesis conference will bring together leaders from the field of adult neurogenesis and will cover different topics from stem cells to function of adult-born neurons. An entire session will be dedicated to adult neurogenesis in humans.
Annual Meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research
The meeting will bring together researchers interested in niche-epithelial stem /progenitor interaction during lung development, homeostasis and disease.
Abstract Deadline: June 28, 2019
Organizers: Anne Grapin-Botton, Marius Wernig, Ken Zaret
