Synopsis
The past ten years have seen an explosion of information regarding stem cells (SCs) within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, due to an improved ability to identify SCs, follow their fates, and manipulate them in vitro. The next frontier in the field of GI stem cell biology is understanding the role that dysregulated ISC behavior plays in the etiology of numerous diseases, and conversely, the impact of GI diseases on proper SC function. This meeting will bring together a diverse group of investigators to discuss topics such as how the environment of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon impacts SC behavior in healthy and diseased states, how SC behaviour and the niche differ along the proximal-distal axis of the GI tract, and the strengths of various models for investigating the relationship between gastrointestinal SCs, the niche, and the onset and propagation of disease states.
Key Sessions
- Inflammation: causes and consequence
- Microbiome and inter-tissue signaling
- Metabolism and Aging
- Modeling the GI tract in vitro
- GI diseases and SCs
- Plasticity in the GI tract
- Regulation of SC behavior in the GI tract

Student Offer
Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Fully paying 'single' or 'shared' registrants can bring a student for only $999. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 07, 08, 09 May 2024 (on a shared basis for students) and a food and beverage package for the conference period. Once registered, please contact Jack Peters to obtain a special registration code for your student.
Target Audience
The audience will be a mixture of scientists and physicians from the fields of stem cell biology, gastrointestinal disease, metabolic disorders, or immunology who are interested in integrating concepts across these areas to improve understanding of mechanisms underlying SC behavior along the GI tract, and contributions of SC dysregulation to disease, and disease treatment. The conference will facilitate discussions around topics such as:
- Novel methods for assessing stem cell growth and differentiation capabilities from along the intestinal tract
- Discussing the extent to which mouse studies can faithfully model human disease, and what are the limits
- The impact of inflammation (disease, infection) on SC proliferation and differentiation capacity
- The impact of diet and metabolism on SC behaviour from different regions of the gastrointestinal tract
- The impact of aging on SCs from different regions of the gastrointestinal tract
- The mechanisms of communication between the gastrointestinal tract and other organs

Location
Cancun is a delightful combination of natural beauty, islands, ecological reserves and white sandy beaches. However, besides sun, sand and sea, this destination also offers an infinite variety of underwater activities to choose from: the diving, snorkelling and fishing here are outstanding and you will find an undersea world packed with tropical fish that live on the second largest barrier reef in the world. Sports enthusiasts might choose one of the many eco-tourism activities, such as cycling or hiking through the tropical forest or kayaking through mangroves, or something a little more adventuresome, like zip lining through the treetops.
Apart from the more well-known ancient Mayan archealogical sites such as Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá you may like to visit the Aktun Chen caverns, voted one of the Top 10 underwater walks by National Geographic described as a truly magical experience.

Transportation
Cancun International Airport is approximately 30 minutes from the Dreams Vista Cancun. Unlike other airports, Cancun airport transfer services must be pre-arranged. To obtain safe, licensed and bilingual transportation services please ensure you book your arrival and return transportation online with an authorised transportation company prior to your arrival to ensure a smooth journey without delays.
If you wish to share a return transfer to the airport then we would suggest waiting and organising this on-site at the hotel. The hotel have registered Taxi's readily available- you simply need to speak to the Bellmen/Concierge on the day of your departure. This will allow attendees to share return transfers with others who have similar flight times.
Cancun Airport Taxis
One way (Cancun Hotel Zone): $24.64+ (USD)
*subject to change, please check the Cancun International Airport website for a more accurate estimation for your trip.
Further information on Taxi services can be found on the Cancun International Airport website (see below link) along with some top tips for travellers from local experts and official authorities.
https://www.cancunairport.com/taxi.html
Private Transportation Companies
There are many alternative transportation companies operating in the Cancun area who will be able to provide a quotation for your trip. The following companies are well reviewed on Trip Advisor and quotations can be obtained and bookings can be made directly via their websites.
Transportation is the sole responsibility of the delegate. Please ensure you conduct your own research and double check your booking details ahead of your arrival. Fusion Conferences are unable to assist with or confirm transportation bookings due to insurance limitations. Thank you for your understanding.
