Terribly saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Pete Coffey. Pete was a true pioneer in regenerative medicine, overcoming many challenges to develop a cell therapy for age-related macular degeneration. A greatly under-rated scientist and a genuine down to earth person.

Reminder: deadline to apply for the Stem Cell Summer School is 30th May. And it's May already! So you have to apply this month! A limited number of bursaries are available. p.s. this year, the summer school coincides with the Spetses Armata Festival, so there will be a big party on the island 🙂

Stem Cell Summer School@stemcellsummer.bsky.social · last yr.

The 2025 European Summer School in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine will take place 12-19 Sept 2025, on the beautiful Greek island of Spetses. Keep an eye on our website www.stemcellsummerschool.org for updates, or give us a follow 😀 Deadline for applications: 30th May 2025
