Athens International Symposium 2025

Athens International Symposium is organized by International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and will be held from Apr 03 - 04, 2025 at Titania Hotel Athens, Athens, Attica, Greece.

Program Description:
Exciting advances have illuminated neural stem cells from development through aging, disease, and repair. Still, harnessing the potential of in vivo and in vitro models to capture neural complexity and cell plasticity remains challenging. The ISSCR, in partnership with Stem Cell Reports, invites you to Athens, Greece, in April 2025 for a unique symposium that gathers global scientists to explore topics including the intrinsic and extrinsic regulation of stem cells, epigenetics and metabolism, evolution and human-specific traits, neuron-glia interactions, and brain disease modeling. Selected authors from a special issue of Stem Cell Reports on the same topic will also present their work.

Key Takeaways:

• Gain insights into the latest advances in understanding the complexity and plasticity of neural stem cells  
• Engage in discussions that bridge in vivo and in vitro perspectives, to better understand neural stem cells from the cellular level to the organism level
• Explore evolutionary perspectives and cross- species comparisons of neural stem cells to appreciate their broader biological context
