The general aim of this Conference is to bring together a group of the most talented young researchers pursuing research in the areas of Developmental Biology and Stem Cells.
Stem cells are an important focus of interest among different laboratories worldwide. Potential contributions and applications as Regenerative Medicine give grounds for the considerable efforts to experimentally manipulate such cells. Indeed, these cells are in the early steps of embryonic development and are the basis for the construction of organs and living organisms, which are the framework of developmental biology studies. This meeting aims to put together young scientists from Latin American and Caribbean region to foster collaborations and the exchange of expertise.
