Basic Science Workshop

Join in the 2025 ASA Basic Sciences Workshop (BSW) to share your expertise and learn from your colleagues!

Preceding the ASA/ISA Meeting, the BSW will be held on the 29th of March 2025 from 8:30 to 14:30 with two sessions. The organizing committee has been constructing the program, with two main themes: “tools and biology of preserving male germ cells” and “state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal sperm quality and offspring potential”. The program aims at highlighting recent developments of experimental techniques that can bridge from basic biology to clinical and practical applications. Each session will have three invited speakers with short presentations from selected delegates, followed by a panel discussion.

To be considered for an oral presentation or to simply express your interest in participation, please complete the Expression of Interest Form by January 15, 2025.

This form is required in addition to the formal registration online.

Please keep your eyes out for our announcements in the coming weeks for more detailed program.

We wish to encourage participation of trainees, junior PIs, clinicians, technical professionals, and established PIs alike, who want to expand their knowledge or share their experience related to the workshop themes. With this year’s meeting being joint between ASA and ISA, we extend this invitation to researchers who attend the meeting from non-English-speaking regions. It will be a wonderful occasion to build a global network for future collaborations!

We are looking forward to meeting you there!
