SY-Stem

Quimigen is proud to participate as an official sponsor of SY-Stem 2026, an international symposium dedicated to fostering the next generation of stem cell researchers. This annual scientific meeting brings together early-career scientists, emerging group leaders, and established experts to discuss the latest advances in stem cell biology in an interactive and collaborative setting.

SY-Stem 2026 is jointly organised by the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) and the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) — two leading biomedical research institutions located at the Vienna BioCenter.

About the Symposium

Taking place over two-and-a-half days, SY-Stem features:

• Keynote lectures from internationally recognised stem cell scientists.

• Scientific sessions covering major themes in stem cell research, including scaling up and automation, stem cells in disease, signaling and patterning, plasticity and reprogramming, and neural control of stem cells.

• Oral presentations and poster opportunities for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior group leaders to present their latest work.

• An environment designed to promote collaboration, networking, and scientific discussion among attendees.

The symposium especially encourages early-career researchers to participate and engage with peers and mentors from across Europe and beyond.
