ISSCR 2024: On the Ground

Jul 30 2024 43 mins  
In July 2024, we attended ISSCR 2024, the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, in Hamburg, Germany. We spoke with delegates about their research, their impressions of the meeting, and the most memorable research presented. They discussed their experiences in Europe and where they would like to see the meeting go next.
