Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research

Founded in July 2009, the Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research (CSSCR) is an academic society dedicated to advancing stem cell research.

It brings together leading researchers and professionals from China's rapidly growing stem cell community. The Society serves as a bridge between the scientific community and policymakers, while fostering collaboration among researchers both domestically and internationally. It also supports the development of stem cell policies and regulations in China and recommends outstanding talents to relevant government agencies.

The CSSCR Annual Meeting, organized and hosted by the Society, rotates among cities across China each year. Now in its 16th edition, it has become a premier event in the country's stem cell field. To recognize outstanding contributions in stem cell research, the Society presents a range of awards, including the Outstanding Contribution Award, Innovation Award, Young Investigator Award, Translational Research Award, and Public Service Award. These are presented at a ceremony held during each annual meeting.

The Society's flagship journal, Cell Proliferation, publishes open access research covering all aspects of cell proliferation and differentiation in both normal and abnormal states (IF = 7.6).

In September 2016, the Society launched "Zui Xin Ke Xue" (Enchanted by Science), a science outreach account on WeChat that shares the latest research breakthroughs, publishes popular science content, and covers hot topics in the field. The Society also actively participates in and organizes various science outreach activities throughout the year. We welcome you to explore and connect with us.
