• Conference information

  14th Dutch Stem Cell Meeting will take place at Friday 20^th October, 2023

  This symposium will be held in the Pink lecture hall, UMCU, Utrecht. It starts at 10AM and finishes around 5PM.

  For this symposium, we are delighted to announce the confirmation of three renowned keynote speakers in our stem cell field, Dr. Peter Rugg-Gunn, Dr. Tiago C. Luis and Prof. Rob Coppes. Peter Rugg-Gunn from the Babraham institute, Cambridge, UK is renowned for his outstanding research  on the epigenome during early human development and stem cell differentiation. Tiago C. Luis from the Haematopoietic Stem Cells Laboratory, Imperical College London, UK is renowned about his study on the role of the bone marrow microenvironment in the regulation of blood stem cell function. Rob Coppens from UMCG, Groningen, NL is well known from his research in establishing salivary gland organoid cultures and recent translation of this research into the first salivary gland stem cell transplantation.
