Nature Research Round Table: Standards for Pluripotent Stem Cell Banking

Dr. Glyn Stacey, Director of the International Stem Cell Banking Initiative (ISCBI), discusses standards for pluripotent stem cell (PSC) banking with a focus on scientific challenges for PSCs, standardization of ethics, the role of stem cell biobanks, and best practices for cell therapy. 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.
