The organizing committees of the University of Maryland School of Medicine (Curt Civin, Miroslaw Janowski, Ricardo Feldman, Yajie "Kevin" Liang, Marta Lipinski, and Abdallah Salemdawod) and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine announce the Second Maryland Spring Stem Cell Symposium and Workshop, a Maryland-wide event Oct. 16-17 that brings together prominent investigators in stem cells, bioengineering, and regenerative medicine.
This symposium, being held at Hopkins, will showcase the results of the visionary and generous support of the Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund to bring new treatments to patients through partnerships with biotech companies and Maryland academic institutions and will focus on the contributions of trainees and junior faculty.
We aim to provide a networking opportunity to foster collaborations between young researchers from different Maryland institutions. Junior-level participants (young faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students) are especially encouraged to submit abstracts, with an opportunity to present their work in either oral or poster format and compete for awards.
Principal investigators working in the fields of regenerative medicine: Please encourage your trainees to submit an abstract of their work. Abstracts not selected for talks will be presented at the poster session to designated poster judges. Prizes will be awarded for the best posters.
A Call for Abstracts will be issued on July 21, 2025.
