干细胞的基础与临床转化研究为人类多种重大疾病的治疗带来了希望，从而成为当今生命科学研究中最受瞩目的领域之一。为进一步推进我国及国际干细胞研究和临床转化进程，加强干细胞研究领域及产业界人士的交流与合作，推动我国及国际干细胞临床研究和治疗的健康快速发展,法国易普森基金会、美国科学促进会/《科学》杂志社、美国科学促进会/《科学转化医学》杂志社联合美国索尔克(Salk)生物学研究所、中国细胞生物学学会干细胞生物学分会及中国科学院动物研究所, 将于2014年10月13-15日在中国北京举办“架起连接生物医学界的桥梁”系列专题讨论会的第一站---“化阻力为机遇--2014干细胞临床转化国际研讨会”。大会将邀请来自中国、美国、日本、瑞典、瑞士、荷兰、意大利等国家的20余名知名干细胞基础及临床转化研究专家进行专题报告。
为了更好地促进我国干细胞由基础研究向临床应用的转化，提高我国在干细胞临床应用领域的整体研究水平，北京干细胞库将于2014年10月16-17日举办第二十六期临床级别干细胞高级技术培训。培训班采用理论、演示、实验操作相结合的形式，力争让学员在短时间内对临床级别多能性干细胞和成体干细胞的相关知识和技能有深入、系统的理解。
热烈欢迎国内外干细胞与再生医学领域的专家学者前来参会！
