The Portuguese Society of Stem Cell and Cell Therapies (SPCE-TC), in collaboration with the Early Career Researchers Network  in Disease Modelling for Translational Research, is organising its 3rd Webcast on 16 April, from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm (Lisbon time).

This initiative brings together senior researchers and students to present and discuss cutting-edge advances in disease modelling using stem cells, with a focus on translational research and the development of cell therapies.
