Isscr-2020-Program.Pdf Dear Colleagues, Welcome to ISSCR’s first virtual meeting! Thank you for joining us for this vibrant digital experience. While the format has changed from what we originally envisioned, what has not altered is your Society’s commitment to the global stem cell community. We continue to focus on bringing exceptional educational programming and networking opportunities to the stem cell field across the world. We believe we have achieved this with ISSCR 2020 Virtual! While much has changed this year, our commitment to constantly innovate has not. This year we created a Stem Cell Research & COVID-19 session that is particularly timely and embraces how rapidly research is moving in our field to understand and combat this virus. This session is part of an ongoing, multi-faceted strategy of the society to share resources for addressing COVID-19. You also will notice the incorporation of four themes woven throughout the meeting as they relate to individual cell types, tissues, and disease: Tissue Stem Cells and Regeneration, Cellular Identity, Modeling Development and Disease, and Clinical Applications, and you will see them noted next to sessions on the meeting platform and in this program. Popular professional development and career-building programs are incorporated into ISSCR 2020 Virtual including the Women in Science panel discussion. This session will gather leaders in STEM to share insights and provide guidance on solving challenges many women face throughout their training and careers and all voices are invited to contribute to this conversation. A new Business of Discovery workshop is an excellent addition to the program, reflecting the growth and maturation of our field as well as the possibilities of new treatments on the horizon. Unique to 2020, abstract submitters will be able to present their posters through a five-minute audio presentation integrated in our abstract platform. We encourage you to take full advantage of exploring those posters and interacting with your colleagues around their research. We know that ISSCR 2020 Virtual never would have been possible to achieve without the commitment, support, and flexibility of our world-renowned speakers, our co-sponsor, Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI), the dedicated ISSCR staff, and the many exhibitors, sponsors, and advertisers that patiently worked with the ISSCR to support the meeting in this digital format. We appreciate the confidence you have in the society. We hope you will seek out the myriad opportunities this year to share research, discover new scientific approaches, expand your network of colleagues, and initiate your next collaboration. For a full 30 days, you will have the opportunity to enrich your understanding of the field through our digital event platform. Each year, this annual meeting inspires us with new ideas and reveals the significant advances taking place across the breadth of stem cell science. This year, during this extraordinary time fighting a new pandemic, will be no different. Sincerely, Deepak Srivastava Kevin Eggan ISSCR President Program Chair 1 MEETING SPONSORS Welcome to the 2020 Annual Meeting of the WelcomeInternational to the Society 2020 for Annual Stem CellMeeting Research. of the We are at a pivotalInternational moment in biomedicine, Society when stemfor cellStem technologies Cell Research.are moving rapidly from bench to clinic, changing the very paradigm of drug discovery and therapeutic development.

  • A Critical Review of Acquisitions Within the Australian Vocational Education and Training Sector 2012 to 2017 Kristina M. Nicho
    A Critical Review of Acquisitions within the Australian Vocational Education and Training Sector 2012 to 2017 Kristina M. Nicholls Victoria University Business School Submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Business Administration 2020 Abstract A Critical Review of Acquisitions within the Vocational Education and Training Sector 2012 to 2017 Organisations often look to acquisitions as a means of achieving their growth strategy. However, notwithstanding the theoretical motivations for engaging in acquisitions, research has shown that the acquiring organisation, following the acquisition, frequently experiences a fall in share price and degraded operating performance. Given the failure rates that are conservatively estimated at over 50%, the issue of acquisitions is worthy of inquiry in order to determine what factors make for a successful or alternately an unsuccessful outcome. The focus of this study is the vocational education sector in Australia, where private registered training organisations [RTOs] adopted acquisitions as a strategy to increase their market share and/or support growth strategies prompted by deregulation and a multi-billion dollar training investment by both Australian State and Federal governments in the past ten years. Fuelled by these changes in Government policy, there was a dramatic growth in RTO acquisitions between the period 2012 and 2017. Many of these acquisitions ended in failure, including several RTOs that listed on the Australian Stock Exchange [ASX]. This study investigates acquisitions of Australian RTOs, focusing on the period from 2012 to 2017 [study period]. The aim is to understand what factors contributed to the success and/or failure of acquisitions of registered training organisations in the Australian Private Education Sector.

Explain that the sub-box under each table category is for writing in examples of that kind of love. The students have 4 minutes per text, then shout “swap”: the students must put their text down and pick up another one. After 16 mins, give the students a few additional minutes to check their info with their partners, and complete anything missing. Feedback the answers.

    11TH ANNUAL MEEtiNG, BostoN, MA USA ™ BD LSRFortessa X-20 with BD reagents Dear Colleagues: A brilliant new approach to multicolor cell analysis on the benchtop. On behalf of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, we are delighted to welcome you to our 11th Annual Meeting, the largest forum for stem cell and regenerative medicine professionals from around the world. It is also a pleasure to be back in Boston, a historic city that played a key role in the ISSCR’s development, and which features a vibrant stem cell research, biotech, and life science research community. The primary goal of our annual meeting is to provide you with an unparalleled array of opportunities to learn from and interact with your peers, and this year you’ll have more ways to do that than ever before. Additional Poster Session We enjoyed a record number of submitted poster abstracts for 2013. In response to past attendees’ requests for additional time to view and discuss poster presentations, we’ve added a third poster session, giving you a quick and efficient way to keep abreast of the latest scientific advances. “Poster Teasers” and New “Poster Briefs” In 2011, we introduced “poster teasers,” which gave delegates time to share their findings in plenary sessions via 1-minute discussions. They’ve proved so popular with attendees that this year, we’re adding “poster briefs,” 3-minute mini-presentations that give authors of the most highly-rated poster abstracts an opportunity to discuss their work during the concurrent sessions. The burgeoning interest in stem cell research is reflected in our record number of exhibitors this year, 26% of whom are new.
