ABOUT
SY-Stem - a symposium focusing on the next generation of stem cell researchers – is an annual meeting, located in the beautiful city of Vienna. It is organized jointly by the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) and Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA).
In this two-and-a-half-day event, recognized keynote speakers, as well as aspiring young group leaders will discuss the latest advances in stem cell biology in an informal and collaborative setting. Our goal is to strengthen a cooperative and dynamic spirit in this research area.
The 2025 sessions include the following topics:
Stem cell niches | Deterministic vs. stochastic decisions | Germline | Model systems for stem cell biology | Epigenetics & imprinting | Cell biology of stem cells | Transitioning stem cells into the clinic

We especially invite young scientists to participate in this symposium, to connect with and shape the future of the stem cell community in Europe. As every year, we give PhD students, postdocs and junior PIs the opportunity to present their work with a talk during the symposium.
