Australian stem cell science conference heads to Queensland’s Gold Coast in November

May 01, 2025


Now is the time to apply for grants and submit abstracts.

Brain scanThe Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research (ASSCR) 2025 Annual Meeting will take place on 10 – 12 November at QT Gold Coast on Queensland’s iconic coastline.

The Foundation is again supporting a grants and awards program, sponsoring ASSCR member postgraduate students and early career researchers to attend and present their research, and awarding prizes for the best oral and poster presentations.

Apply or encourage your junior colleagues to apply for the grants: www.asscrmeeting.com.au/awards.

The program was created to support the next generation of stem cell researchers early in their careers, kickstart their network building, and give them opportunities to present their work. Hundreds of grants have been awarded since it started in 2013.

For example, Lincon Stamp, who researches enteric (intestine-related) nervous system stem cells, was one of our travel grant recipients in 2014, winning the conference’s award for top oral presentation from an early career researcher. Today, he’s ASSCR President!

The organising committee is also calling for abstracts for the conference. The deadline for both grant applications and abstract submissions is 1 August 2025.
