Global Regenerative Medicine Trainee Speaker Series
Dates: See Below Location:This series is hosted online.
The Stem Cell Network is excited to partner with five stem cell and regenerative medicine societies and networks from around the globe to profile the research achievements of outstanding trainees, including graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates in each country.
The Global Regenerative Medicine Trainee Speaker Series is a virtual event that will be held every two months to learn about cutting-edge research advances arising from the next generation of stem cell leaders in the following countries:
Each one-hour session will feature three trainee speakers nominated by their network or society representatives who will provide a 15-minute talk and a 5-minute Q&A period from the audience. Register below for the first four sessions:
