bioengineering
From developing new tools to deploying these technologies to answer important biological questions, bioengineering is accelerating our understanding of stem cells and their applications to human health. Speakers at ISSCR 2026 will explore the latest advances in bioengineering that are pushing stem cell research to new frontiers. Speakers will cover a range of topics, including tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting, synthetic biology, organs on a chip and microfluidics, and more.
