UCSF Broad Stem Cell

Discovering the inner workings of stem cells, engineering treatments using genome editing tools, and healing patients by developing life-saving therapies.

[Sergiu P. Pasca @Sergiu_P_Pasca]

The 5th edition of the @cshlmeetings conference on Development and Modeling of the Human Brain with #assembloids and #organoids will take place in December.

We will have a spectacular group of speakers and a series of selected talks from trainees.

Deadline in September.

Finding a #ClinicalTrial in California is now easier. CIRM’s new dashboard helps patients quickly search active cell and gene therapy trials at nine CIRM-funded Alpha Clinics across the state. Learn more: https://t.co/wy2ZHO4sl1

[UCSF Neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF]

In a new @NatureNeuro study led by @UCSF neurosurgeon @EWinklerMDPhD, researchers profiled the cells in human aneurysms, identifying the changes that make a rupture more likely and new opportunities for therapeutic intervention: https://t.co/IHiF18unhJ

Excited to have the ISSCR 2027 Annual Meeting here in San Francisco! 🧬

[ISSCR @ISSCR]

In 2027, ISSCR returns to San Francisco to recognize 25 years of discovery, collaboration, and progress in stem cell science; to gather the people, ideas, and work that will shape the next quarter century.

Join us in San Francisco, USA, 15–18 June 2027. https://t.co/NtA5cbpzpU

[GuoHuangLab @UCSF #Open postdoc position @GuonHuang]

@ScienceMagazine is recruiting an editor in Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine (at the post-doctoral level) with broad interests in neuroscience, regenerative biology, and stem cells in medical or biomedical research. https://t.co/C5o6tJUYkx

[Gladstone Institutes @GladstoneInst]

The Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize recognizes individuals whose translational research has advanced cellular reprogramming technology for regenerative medicine. It also celebrates the landmark discovery of iPS cells by Shinya Yamanaka.

But what are iPS cells? Learn more 👇

[GuoHuangLab @UCSF #Open postdoc position @GuonHuang]

#ISSCR2026 brings together leading scientists in stem cell research & regenerative medicine. Hear from co-chair Nozomu Yachie on why early-career researchers should present their work: https://t.co/8eImTgOgrT

Late-breaking abstract is due 22 April 👉 https://t.co/ZyQ6gnZfuk

[UCSF Surgery @UCSFSurgery]

How does science reach the patient⁉️Join @UCSF #Surgery + the @UCSFstemcell Center on March 26th for "Getting to Patients", featuring Dr. Tippi MacKenzie (@MackenzieTippi) on "in utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation..", with patient perspective and Q&A. In person only.

[UC San Francisco @UCSF]

Organs grow in a body that shape-shifts with them. UCSF scientists invented a gel that mimics this soft support and 3D printed stem cells into it - reliably seeding mini-organs that could speed drug testing in petri dishes. https://t.co/E9Q5vI8ArY
