About
SY-Stem - a symposium focusing on the next generation of stem cell researchers - is an annual meeting held in the beautiful city of Vienna and organized by the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA).
During this two-and-a-half-day event, recognized keynote speakers and aspiring young group leaders discuss the latest advances in stem cell biology in an informal and collaborative setting. Our goal is to strengthen a cooperative and dynamic spirit within this research area.
The sessions include the following topics:
Cell competition | Early embryo models | Lineage tracing | Morphogenesis & Patterning | Theory and computational biology | Regeneration | Tissue engineering and NAMs
