The Crick stem cell forum is a diverse network of researchers who share a passion for stem cell and developmental biology.
Our goal is to foster collaboration and interaction between labs across London and beyond by highlighting the exciting work being carried out in the field of stem cell research.
Anyone with an interest in this area is encouraged to present or attend.
Meeting on the first Tuesday of each month, the forum is a welcoming and open space, providing a fantastic opportunity for researchers to present their work and in turn receive invaluable feedback from their peers.
Currently, we have representation from numerous research institutes and cover a broad range of areas beyond just the basic stem cell biology, including embryology and development, cancer and novel therapeutic applications.
We are always looking for more researchers who share our interests to join the forum and benefit from being part of the brilliant community of scientists it has created.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
