About The JAX-NYSCF Conference
For the past two decades, The NYSCF Research institute has convened world-leading experts from various disciplines across biomedicine and biotechnology to present the latest cutting-edge, unpublished stem cell science. This year’s conference stands at a historic intersection: the 20th anniversary of the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the transformative acquisition of NYSCF by The Jackson Laboratory.
The 2026 JAX-NYSCF Conference will showcase visionary pioneers who shaped the stem cell field alongside emerging innovators driving its next era. Discover the breakthroughs shaping the field, spark new ideas for your own work, and be part of the community driving the future of biomedical research.
