Introduction

In the past years stem cell research has gained further traction in the development of more complex in vitro (disease) models as well as in clinical trials and therapeutic applications. Especially in the field of neuroscience, stem cell-based models are becoming increasingly important not only for ethical reasons (3Rs) but also because of their human relevance and scalability.

Scope

• The aim of the ‘Stem Cells in Neuroscience’ meeting is to stimulate and expand the interdisciplinary and (inter)national networking of researchers in neuroscience and stem cell field.

• With our meeting we aim to foster an inclusive environment for PhDs, postdocs and faculty to meet, network and discuss their research in a small scale setting with esteemed international scientists. Other speakers will therefore be specifically selected from this group of participants.

• We strongly encourage you to submit an abstract for a oral presentation and/or poster to fully emerge in the scientific debate.

• The number of participants will be limited to a maximum of 120 in order to create a personal and inspiring environment.

Session topics

• neurodegeneration

• neurodevelopment

• neurosensory

• neuroimmunology

• neurovascular

• translational neuroscience

Who can attend?

The ‘Stem Cells in Neuroscience’ meeting is targeted to PhDs, postdoctoral researchers, faculty and clinicians working within the field of neuroscience and stem cell research, including basic as well as clinical and translational research. We also strongly encourage participation from researchers working in related fields.

Registration does not guarantee a place on the course; in case the event is overbooked participants will be selected based on abstract review.

Registration will remain open until November 30th, 2023
