From Stem Cells to Human Development

2024 marks ten years since the first of Development’s meetings on this topic. The past decade has seen tremendous advances in our ability to analyse and understand human development – from the advent of single cell sequencing technologies to the explosion of organoid culture systems and the development of integrated models of human embryogenesis. From Stem Cells to Human Development has become the premier forum for presenting, learning about and discussing the latest advances, and remaining challenges in the field.

We hope this meeting will bring together researchers working on a diverse set of questions – from early cell fate choices in the human embryo to organ patterning and morphogenesis, from tissue engineering to ‘omics technologies. We are excited to see the continuing progress in this field, and to nurture this growing community.
