KSSCR 2026

The scientific program for this meeting has been designed to present the latest breakthroughs while encompassing diverse areas of stem cell science. We are honored to host three distinguished plenary speakers— Professor Lorenz Studer (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center), Professor Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte (Altos Labs), and Professor Hans R. Schöler (Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine)—who have each made transformative contributions to stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Their insights will undoubtedly inspire new directions and deepen our understanding of fundamental and translational research. In particular, it is a great personal honor and pleasure for me to welcome my mentor, Professor Hans R. Schöler, during my tenure as President.

In addition, we are particularly pleased to organize a special “Meet the Editors” session, where editors from leading international journals will engage directly with young investigators from Korea. This session is intended to provide valuable guidance on scientific publishing and to facilitate meaningful dialogue between researchers and the global editorial community.
