7 June 2022 | Amsterdam, NL – We are pleased to announce that StemJournal – and its whole family of publications in StemHub – will be represented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research Annual Meeting (ISSCR 2022), taking place June 15–18 in San Francisco. Be sure to visit us at the IOS Press booth #215 to meet the team and pick up an exclusive limited-edition souvenir copy of the journal. As it is an online-only publication, we do not usually issue publish print editions – except for this one time! Numbers are limited, so be sure to plan your trip early in the event to be sure of picking up a copy.

Amsterdam, NL – We are pleased to announce that StemJournal – and its whole family of publications in StemHub – will be represented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research Annual Meeting (ISSCR 2022), taking place June 15–18 in San Francisco. Be sure to visit us at the IOS Press booth #215 to meet the team and pick up an exclusive limited-edition souvenir copy of the journal.

Visit us at ISSCR exhibition booth #215

We are very pleased to participate as an exhibitor ISSCR 2022, which is a significant event on the stem cell calendar and is co-sponsored by STEMCELL Technologies. 

Together with an outstanding international Editorial Board, the StemJournal team believes that it is important to provide a forum for studies that use stem cells to develop novel therapies and perhaps even cures for people suffering from devastating diseases. The journal’s aim is to keep pace with developments in this fast-moving field by publishing integrative biomedical research on stem cells. The key priority is to publish open access content and top quality research in stem cell biology, including translational research and clinical application, disease modeling, computational and systems biology, and data science.

Via the IOS Press exhibition booth #215, you will be able to pick up a collection of papers that were specially selected for the ISSCR event to highlight content published in StemJournal – from review articles, to research reports to position papers and poster reports. We are seeking new submissions to the journal and we offer authors a fast, fair, and thorough peer review process, and rapid online publication. We also support the publication of preprints in bioRxiv and medRxiv through the journal’s StemRxiv portal, making submission to either of these preprint databases a simple click away.

The journal is also strongly aligned with StemBook, co-publishing new content, from protocols to seminal or topical. Together, these open access publications also form the backbone of the StemHub platform – with its newly-launched website.

Together with the growing StemHub, our vision is to build a community for all stem cell researchers to share ideas and advance the field to developing the cures of tomorrow. We are excited about the future of StemJournal and look forward to receiving your submissions!
 

ISSCR: Five meetings in one

The scientific program of ISSCR 2022 is designed around five tracks to help you find and connect with researchers who share your scientific interests. Each of the five tracks will be explored during four concurrent track sessions and a plenary session.

These sessions allow you to dive into a focused topic from across the spectrum of stem cell research. Each session, framed by a brief topic overview, includes two invited speakers whose work highlights leading research in the field along with up to five abstract-selected speakers who collectively highlight some of the most exciting and current work on the topic. These sessions are held in parallel and attendees are encouraged to move between sessions to hear talks of interest. Organized by the ISSCR Annual Meeting Program Committee, five core tracks will be carried throughout the meeting with four concurrent sessions in each track.

StemJournal Board Members Presenting at ISSCR 2022

Here, a selection of the speakers in three of the five tracks are listed:

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

Stem Cells: From Development to Therapy (Sponsored By: WiCell)
StemJournal senior editor Agnete Kirkeby, PhD (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) will be one of the presenters in this track, along with Gordon Keller, PhD (University Health Network, Canada), and more. The session will cover the use of developmental biology for developing stem cells as cell therapies or finding molecules that alter cell function using stem cells.

CELLULAR IDENTITY

Cellular Identity Towards Translational Medicine (Sponsored By: BlueRock Therapeutics)
StemJournal Editor-in-Chief Neils Geijsen, PhD, and associate editor Joseph Wu, MD (Stanford University, USA) will be one of the presenters in this track, along with Sally Temple, PhD (Neural Stem Cell Institute, USA), and more. The session will cover characterization of the identities of cells derived from stem cells to mimic endogenous tissues, in order to serve as a tool for drug discovery or as a cellular source for replacement therapy.

Spheroids and Organoids (Sponsored By: Cell Microsystems)
StemJournal board member Jun Wu, PhD (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA) will be one of the presenters in this track session, along with Kunyoo Shin, PhD (Seoul National University, Korea), and more. The session will cover analysis of three-dimensional structures generated from stem cells as a means to analyze early embryogenesis, tissue development and homeostasis, and as a tool in translational medicine.

MODELING DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE

Modeling Degenerative Diseases and Cancer (Sponsored By: Bit.Bio)
StemJournal board member April Craft, PhD (Boston Children's Hospital, USA) will be one of the presenters in this track session, along with Mina Gouti, PhD (MDC Berlin, Germany), and more. This session will cover new models enabling the study of degenerative diseases and cancer will be presented, notably featuring invited speakers discussing neurodegeneration and cartilage degeneration.

Modeling Organogenesis and Developmental Disorders (Sponsored By: NanoString Technologies)
StemJournal board member Paul Gadue, PhD (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, USA) will present in this session, alongside Andrew P. McMahon, PhD (University of Southern California, USA), and more. Highlights of how stem cells can be used to model organ development will be covered, notably using examples of the pancreas and kidney, and how these models can be used to decipher the emergence of developmental disorders. 

 

The StemJournal team looks forward to meeting you in San Francisco at booth #215!
