Welcome to International Forum on Stem Cells, to be held in Tianjin, China. This conference is organized by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and the National Science Foundation of China. It will be hosted by the Institute of Haematology/Hospital for Blood Diseases that houses the National Centre for Stem Cell Engineering and Technologies of China and the State Key Laboratory for Experimental Haematology. The timing, location and amazingly booming economy in China will certainly offer new exciting opportunities to launch some joint international efforts on stem cell research and applications.
