The 24th and 19th International Congresses on Reproduction and Stem Cell Biology in the Islamic Republic of Iran broughttogether experts and researchers worldwide to explore the latest advancements in these fields. Different topics werediscussed, including such as reproductive health, infertility treatments, stem cell research, and regenerative medicine.This report provides a summary of the congress’s key findings by emphasizing pioneer research and technologies thatcan influence the future of reproduction and stem cell biology programs. The presence of keynote speakers such asProfessor Nicolas Rivron, Mohammad Ebrahim Parsanezhad, Ashraf Moini, Abbas Aflatoonian, Hadi Shafiee, AnnaBrini, Omid Camron Farokhzad, and Jeffrey Schweitzer added value to the event, which had over 1100 participantsfrom around the world. While foreign speakers were from various countries Iranian speakers mainly came from Tabriz,Isfahan, Shiraz, Babol, and Tehran that all discussed cutting-edge science and successful disease treatments. Toensure a more comprehensive representation, it is suggested that a wider geographic distribution of national andforeign speakers should be considered in future plan.
