Bay Area Stanford Regenerative Medicine Conference for Students

A TERMIS-AM Ambassador’s Conference

Saturday Sept 23rd, 2023 | Li Ka Shing Building (1^st floor, Room LK130), Stanford University

Welcome to the Bay Area Stanford Regenerative Medicine Conference for Students—A TERMIS-AM Ambassador’s Conference. This STEM conference introduces attendees to the field of regenerative medicine. Besides learning about interesting science, students will also learn about careers in regenerative medicine and more broadly careers in STEM fields. We strongly encourage Greater Bay Area students who may be new to science and medicine to attend. We welcome students of all career stages, including high school, college, graduate, and post-graduate, and post-doctoral to attend this in-person conference on Stanford’s campus.
