ISSCR 2027 Annual Meeting

The ISSCR 2027 Annual Meeting, organised by the International Society for Stem Cell Research, takes place in San Francisco, United States, from 15 to 18 June 2027 and invites abstracts on stem cell science and regenerative medicine for oral and poster presentations. This guide covers topic areas consistent with the meeting scope, readiness checks, what abstract reviewers typically value and how to prepare a submission before the 27 January 2027 deadline.

Topics consistent with the programme

  • Pluripotent stem cell biology, reprogramming and differentiation
  • Adult and tissue-resident stem cells in development, homeostasis and repair
  • Organoids and stem cell-derived models of human disease
  • Cell therapies and translational regenerative medicine

  • Ethical, regulatory and societal aspects of stem cell science

Based on the published scope; the official page sets out the full themes and requirements.

Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. Confirm that the work addresses stem cell science or regenerative medicine.
  2. Ensure the abstract reports results and describes the experimental systems clearly.
  3. Indicate whether you prefer an oral or poster presentation, if the submission system asks.
  4. Check the abstract categories, length limits and submission rules on the official ISSCR page.
  5. Prepare a complete, co-author-approved abstract before 27 January 2027.

Why This Conference Matters

Stem cell research spans fundamental developmental biology, disease modelling and the clinical translation of cell-based therapies, and progress in each area depends on exchange between them. The ISSCR Annual Meeting is a central forum for that exchange, bringing together laboratory scientists, clinicians, industry and policy specialists. Presenting there allows authors to test new findings with an informed international audience, meet potential collaborators and follow how emerging methods such as organoids and gene editing are being applied across the field.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Stem cell and developmental biology
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Cell and gene therapy
  • Bioengineering
  • Bioethics and science policy

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and medical schools
  • Research institutes and stem cell centres
  • Biotechnology and cell therapy companies
  • Hospitals running translational programmes

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. New insights into how stem cells are specified, maintained or directed to differentiate.
  2. Disease models that reproduce clinically relevant features and are rigorously validated.
  3. Translational data that address safety, manufacturing or efficacy of cell-based therapies.
  4. Clear methods that allow others to assess reproducibility of the stem cell systems used.

Ideas You Could Develop

Organoid model of a genetic disorderA study using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells to build organoids that model a monogenic disease phenotype.
Improving differentiation efficiencyAn abstract reporting a modified protocol that increases the yield and purity of a specific differentiated cell type.
Quality markers for cell therapy productsA translational study evaluating markers that predict the potency of a stem cell-derived therapeutic product.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 27 January 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 16 Dec 2026

    Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.

  2. By 30 Dec 2026

    Agree the key result, the authors and the presenting author.

  3. By 13 Jan 2027

    Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.

  4. By 20 Jan 2027

    Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.

  5. By 25 Jan 2027

    Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.

  6. By 27 Jan 2027

    Submit through the official abstract system before the deadline.

What you gain

  • Feedback from peers working on the same questions.
  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

The meeting seeks abstracts on stem cell science and regenerative medicine for oral and poster presentation. Strong submissions typically present new data from well-characterised systems, explain the biological or clinical significance and describe methods clearly enough for peers to judge their robustness. Abstract categories, formats and selection criteria should be confirmed on the official ISSCR 2027 pages.
