STEM CELLS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE

Friday, June 13, 2025
8:30 AM – 10:00 AM HK Time
Location: Hall A, L1

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the role of stem cells in the clinical manifestations of infectious diseases. Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for treating a range of infectious diseases. This session will explore advances in using stem cell-based models to study infection and immune responses, paving the way for drug discovery and treatment design and development for infectious diseases.
