Different topics were discussed, 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 that can influence the future of reproduction and stem cell biology programs. The presence of keynote speakers such as Professor Nicolas Rivron, Mohammad Ebrahim Parsanezhad, Ashraf Moini, Abbas Aflatoonian, Hadi Shafiee, Anna Brini, Omid Camron Farokhzad, and Jeffrey Schweitzer added value to the event, which had over 1100 participants from 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.
