Assalamualaikum and a very good day,

I am delighted and honoured to welcome everyone to the Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Culture and Applications: Comprehensive Symposium and Workshop 2024 (MESC 2024). On behalf of the organising committee, it is a privilege to bring everyone together and inaugurate what promises to be a highly enriching and intellectually stimulating gathering.

This symposium and workshop are a testament to our shared commitment to advancing the field of mouse embryonic stem cell culture and its diverse applications. It is a unique platform that brings together experts, researchers, and enthusiasts from around the world, all driven by a common passion for scientific exploration and discovery.

Over the course of five days, we have a meticulously curated enlightening program in store for you. The event will begin with a day of hybrid symposium full of informative talks delivered by fellow experts on embryonic stem cells and their applications in therapy, drug screening & delivery and disease modelling.  The use of these stem cells as differentiated sources for various emerging tools such as exosomes and organoids will be highlighted. The following four days will expose workshop participants to a comprehensive hands-on experience in stem cell culturing techniques from cell thawing, propagating, passaging and freezing and molecular procedure in detecting stem cell markers expression by immunocytochemistry.  Participants will also be mesmerised by learning and being exposed to methods of generating embryoid bodies and organoids, multicellular aggregates that only pluripotent stem cells, like embryonic stem cells, can make.  

This program features leading experts who will deliver enlightening talks from academia and industry, round table discussions that promise to ignite thought-provoking conversations, hands-on workshops that will allow for practical learning, and ample networking opportunities to foster new connections and collaborations.  To embark on this intellectual journey together, I encourage and welcome any participation from anyone around the globe. It is through the synergy of diverse minds and perspectives that we can push the boundaries of our understanding and make meaningful contributions to the benefit of all humankind.

I want to express my sincere hope that this symposium and workshop will not only broaden your knowledge but also inspire you to explore new frontiers in your research and collaborations. Together, we have the power to shape the future of mouse embryonic stem cell culture and its applications.

Thank you for your presence, and I am eager to witness the discoveries and innovations that will undoubtedly emerge from our collective efforts during this event.

Let us embark on this journey of knowledge and exploration with enthusiasm and determination.

Thank you.
