Nature Research Round Table: Regulations Around Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Registration

Dr. Andreas Kurtz from the Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Regenerative Therapies discusses data associated with human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) as well as the benefits of and regulations around data registration for cell line characterization. Since 2010, Dr. Kurtz has managed hPSCreg, a freely accessible global registry for human hPSC lines. This presentation and the following Q&A session were moderated by Dr. Joanne Mountford from the University of Glasgow.

This presentation was part of a Round Table series titled “Challenges in Ensuring hPSC Quality”, hosted in partnership with Nature Research. Global experts gathered at the Springer Nature headquarters in London, UK, to tackle some of the most pertinent issues impacting the use of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), ranging from fundamental biology research to therapeutic applications.
