Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine

Stem Cell Engineering & Cellular Reprogramming

Advancements in stem cell engineering have revolutionized regenerative medicine, enabling the reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with remarkable therapeutic potential. These engineered cells offer unprecedented opportunities for personalized medicine, disease modeling, and drug discovery. Cellular reprogramming techniques allow researchers to manipulate cell fate, enhance tissue regeneration, and restore function in damaged organs. Current research focuses on optimizing reprogramming efficiency, reducing immunogenicity, and ensuring genomic stability for safe clinical applications. Innovative approaches are integrating synthetic biology and genome editing to create next-generation stem cell lines capable of targeted differentiation and enhanced regenerative capacity. Additionally, advances in 3D culture systems and organoid development provide functional platforms for testing regenerative strategies. The session explores breakthroughs in epigenetic modulation, transcription factor-mediated reprogramming, and scalable stem cell production. Challenges in translating laboratory findings into clinical therapies, such as ensuring reproducibility, overcoming tumorigenicity, and achieving regulatory compliance, will also be addressed. Attendees will gain insights into the latest protocols, mechanistic understanding, and practical applications of stem cell engineering, paving the way for transformative interventions in tissue repair, organ regeneration, and precision medicine.
