Stem Cells: Immune Tolerance and Immunotherapy

14th Annual Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium

APRIL 17, 2019 | MADISON, WI

POSTER SESSION + CONTEST (click here)

30 posters will be accepted. To be considered for the contest, you must be a graduate student or post-doctoral researcher and your abstract must be received by Wednesday, April 3, 2019.

• Symposium registration and fee payment are also required for participation. NOTE: For accepted posters, registration fees will be waived for first authors who are graduate students or post-doctoral researchers in academic institutions. If you are in this category: PLEASE DO NOT PAY A REGISTRATION FEE unless you hear back that your abstract was not accepted.
  
• After that deadline, if 30 abstracts have not yet been approved, the Poster Review Committee will review and accept posters until that total is reached. However, abstracts received after that date will not be contest eligible.
  
• The Poster Review Committee will select 10 posters for final judging at the Symposium.
• Three prizes will be awarded: 1st Place: $500; 2nd Place: $300; 3rd Place: $200.
  
• The winners will be recognized in the closing session of the Symposium.
  

The Symposium is coordinated by the Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the BTC Institute. It brings together leading researchers in immunotherapies and stem cell biology. The presentations will highlight advances in immunotherapies as well as efforts to understand and overcome immunological barriers to cell-based therapies.

HIGHLIGHTED ISSUES

• Describing translational uses for human pluripotent stem cell-derived and MSC-derived immune therapies
  
• Advancing natural killer cell-based immunotherapies
  
• Identifying and overcoming immunological barriers for human pluripotent stem cell-based therapies
  
• Exploring bioengineering approaches for immunological modulation
