The ASSCR is pleased to invite you to our 2025 NSW EMCR Symposium. We welcome all EMCRs: students from Honours to Masters, all PhD candidates, Postdocs, RAs, Lab Techs & Industry Reps! Join us for your 1-day local in-person symposium on June 27th at the University of Sydney. The event will be in the Charles Perkins Centre seminar room. This meeting builds on our successes and is part of a series of interstate symposia held mid-year.
This collaborative and engaging series is designed as a platform for EMCRs at all career stages to showcase the cutting-edge science produced by Australia's next generation of researcher leaders. These symposia are a supportive environment organised by EMCRs for EMCRs. Presenters are encouraged to share ongoing projects and developments so we may all expand our local networks and learn from each other. As such, this meeting will cover a wide array of stem cell research topics, including, but not limited to:
- Disease modelling
- Vector design and gene editing
- Cell and gene therapy strategies
- Regenerative medicine
- Organoids
- Spatial transcriptomics
- Computational biology
- Developmental biology

About us:
The Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research (ASSCR) aims to support stem cell research and encourage scientific exchange across Australasia, build an active national and international stem cell research community, and provide all interested parties with the opportunity to access information relating to scientific, medical and ethical advances in the broad field of stem cell research. A particular emphasis of the ASSCR is also to communicate this information to the general public.
