20th Anniversary Conference
Hosted by Lund Stem Cell Center | April 2023
About Lund Stem Cell Center's 20th Anniversary Conference:
Since opening its doors nearly 20 years ago, Lund Stem Cell Center has remained committed to excellence in stem cell research and training the next generation of scientists in order to make stem cell therapies a reality of tomorrow.
Over the past two decades, Lund Stem Cell Center has grown and evolved with the developments made in the field and is today recognized as a world-leading, internationally-renowned hub for both scientists and students. The research at Lund Stem Cell Center is diverse and covers several aspects of developmental and stem cell biology, including but not limited to restorative neurology, hematopoiesis, endocrine cell differentiation, lung bioengineering and bone formation processes.
In honor of our growth and achievements made since our founding, we invite you to join us at our 20th Anniversary Conference which celebrates 20 years of excellence in stem cell research.
