The NYSCF Conference is the leading scientific meeting on translational stem cell research. It annually convenes over 500 participants from academia, industry government, non-profits, and patient groups. This year’s keynote was given by Carl H. June, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania. Additional speakers included world-renowned, multi-disciplinary scientists, who presented their latest findings about the transformative impact of stem cell research on numerous diseases with a high unmet need.

This year’s NYSCF conference was held virtually — featuring live video poster presentations, video and chat interactions with the stem cell community, and breakout rooms to interact with our speakers.
