the 3rd Pan Pacific Symposium on Stem Cells Research will take place in Taichung, Taiwan from April 16 to 19, 2010.

The aim of this PPSSC 2010 is to provide all stem cell research professionals to share their experience in their research and clinical practice.

The PPSSC 2008 and PPSSC 2009 successfully attracted many participants. This year, the PPSSC 2010 will also present the most up-to-dated scientific evidence through our Comprehensive scientific program which will cover Neuroscience, Cardiovascular diseases, Hematology, Hepatic Regeneration, iPS Cells, Food Supplement & Stem Cell to be presented in the invited speakers' lectures. We also hold workshops, as well as the abstract-based program.

Furthermore, we will provide Poster Presentation Award to encourage stem cell research, and to recognize and award meritorious scholarship. We sincerely invite academics, professionals and students to submit your papers at PPSSC 2010.

Before stem cells can be applied to human medical problems, substantial advances in basic cell biology and clinical technique are required. In addition, very challenging regulatory decisions will be required on the individually created tissue based therapies resulting from stem cell research. The PPSSC was devoted to build a scientific platform for scholars, doctors and students, make an opportunity to exchange new research results and theories.

Taichung is feathered by a glamorous blend of tradition and modernity. Along with its colorful beauty, it is full of cultural and festive activities. We would like to offer our warmest welcome to you and sincerely hope that in addition to the educational scientific programs, you will have a joyful experience in this beautiful, energetic, friendly and exotic city.
