November 20-21, 2025: Save these dates! The 14th International Meeting of the Portuguese Society for Stem Cells and Cell Therapy (SPCE-TC) will take place in Porto, at i3S – Institute for Research and Innovation in Health, University of Porto. This event will be doubly special: besides bringing together the national and international scientific community for stimulating discussions on the latest advances in stem cell research, the congress will also mark the 20th anniversary celebration of SPCE-TC.
The Organizing Committee warmly welcomes all participants and highlights that this upcoming biennial congress will be an excellent opportunity to honour two decades of science, innovation, and collaboration in the field of stem cells and cell therapies, not only in Portugal but also globally.
Over the past 20 years, SPCE-TC has promoted scientific excellence, encouraged knowledge sharing, interdisciplinary cooperation, and the development of innovative approaches in stem cell research, cell therapies, and regenerative medicine. The 14th International Meeting of SPCE-TC will continue this mission, gathering internationally renowned scientists, clinicians, and biomedical professionals, with a carefully designed scientific program reflecting the richness and diversity of the field.
Key highlights of the event include lectures delivered by esteemed national and international experts, in a program aimed at fostering discussion, stimulating critical thinking, and raising awareness about stem cell and cell therapy research—especially among young investigators.
Beyond scientific relevance, the meeting assumes special significance by taking place in Porto, known for its beauty, heritage, and increasingly prominent role in biomedical research in Portugal.
