WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee we would like to invite you to attend The Fifth International Stem Cell Meeting jointly organized by Hadassah Medical Center & Hebrew University. The meeting will be held at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem at the Edmond J. Safra Campus, Givat Ram on October 8th & 9th, 2013. We hope you will join us and contribute to the meeting, both scientifically and socially.
We have already obtained the consent of several international world leaders in stem cell research to share their recent findings with us. In addition, several invited Israeli speakers will deliver their presentations at the conference. As in previous years, the program will also include speakers chosen from abstracts submitted to the conference. We thus encourage the Stem Cell community to submit abstracts of their research to the meeting. Abstracts of posters and oral presentations can be submitted on-line at: http://www.ISCS-Meeting.com The deadline for abstract submission is September 3rd, 2013.
We look forward to seeing all of you at this exciting meeting.
