International medical experts, emerging clinical strategies, and advanced education come together in Santa Cruz de la Sierra on October 23–24, 2026, for the 126th edition of ISSCA.
The countdown is almost over. On October 23 and 24, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, will welcome the international regenerative medicine community for ISSCA 126, bringing together medical professionals, renowned specialists, and innovators for two days of scientific exchange and advanced clinical education.
Hosted at Los Tajibos, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, the International Regenerative Medicine Conference marks another milestone in ISSCA’s ongoing mission to expand access to specialized medical education throughout Latin America.
With 16 years of international experience, the International Society for Stem Cell Application (ISSCA) continues to connect physicians with emerging scientific developments and the expertise needed to navigate an increasingly sophisticated field.
As preparations enter their final stage, here’s a closer look at what awaits us in Bolivia.
Bolivia Takes Center Stage in the Global Regenerative Medicine Conversation
Regenerative medicine is advancing rapidly, bringing new scientific perspectives to cellular therapies, exosomes, peptides, precision medicine, and personalized therapeutic strategies.
As research evolves, so does the importance of understanding how these developments may translate into responsible clinical applications.
ISSCA 126 will bring this conversation directly to Bolivia, creating a valuable opportunity for physicians from across the region to engage with international expertise and explore the challenges shaping modern regenerative medicine.
For two days, Santa Cruz de la Sierra will become a meeting point for scientific knowledge, clinical perspectives, and professional connections.
Day One: Exploring the Science and Strategies Shaping the Future of Medicine
The conference begins on Friday, October 23, with an academic program featuring international specialists who will explore some of the most relevant developments in regenerative medicine.
From artificial intelligence and precision medicine to complex clinical scenarios, the sessions will examine how emerging technologies and therapeutic approaches are influencing medical practice.
Artificial Intelligence, Genomics, and the Rise of Precision Medicine
Among the anticipated discussions, Dr. Marcio Kume will explore the role of genomics, epigenetics, and artificial intelligence in regenerative medicine, examining the transition toward increasingly individualized therapeutic strategies.
Benito Novas, CEO of ISSCA, will address the challenges facing today’s regenerative medicine landscape, including regulatory considerations, AI, and advanced clinical practices.
Together, these perspectives will highlight how scientific innovation and technological developments are reshaping the questions physicians must consider when evaluating emerging therapies.
Connecting Scientific Knowledge With Clinical Decision-Making
Another central focus of ISSCA 126 will be the integration of regenerative tools into clinical reasoning and practice.
Dr. Andrea Lapeire will discuss the importance of the biological terrain and the combination of therapeutic strategies, while Dr. Marcio Kume will examine approaches that connect laboratory developments with clinical applications.
The conference will also feature Dr. Yoelma Eid Sandoval, who will address complex clinical scenarios and combination strategies in aesthetic gynecology.
Dr. Rafael Moguel will contribute a discussion focused on multiple sclerosis and cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, while Pablo de Caso will explore clinical experiences involving MuseCell and current challenges in regenerative medicine.
These sessions will create opportunities to examine different approaches, discuss current limitations, and deepen the understanding of a field that continues to evolve.
The first day will conclude with an interactive panel, allowing attendees to engage directly with the participating specialists.
Day Two: Advanced Regenerative Medicine Certification Brings Clinical Education Into Focus
On Saturday, October 24, attention will turn toward specialized medical education through ISSCA’s Advanced Regenerative Medicine Certification. This immersive program will bring together international experts to explore clinical applications, scientific developments, and emerging approaches in regenerative medicine.
Designed exclusively for licensed physicians, this advanced certification focuses on strengthening clinical knowledge and evaluating emerging regenerative tools. Participants will explore their potential applications across medical specialties through case-based discussions and expert perspectives.
Advanced Regenerative Medicine Certification: Seven Clinical Cases, Multiple Medical Perspectives
One of the highlights of the second day will be the Advanced Regenerative Medicine Certification, featuring seven clinical case discussions across different areas of medicine.
The academic program begins with Dr. Andrea Lapeire exploring the foundations of cellular therapies, exosomes, and peptides, including their mechanisms of action and scientific considerations.
Participants will then examine clinical decision-making, patient selection, biological terrain, safety, and follow-up strategies before moving into the case discussions.
The seven cases will cover a diverse range of medical fields:
- Neurology and discussions involving nebulized exosomes.
- Lupus and the assessment of immunological factors.
- Cerebellar trauma sequelae and cellular approaches.
- Knee and shoulder osteoarthritis, including exosomes and peptides.
- Male regenerative aesthetics, featuring GHK-Cu.
- Regenerative gynecology.
- Regenerative urology.
Through these discussions, physicians will have the opportunity to examine clinical reasoning across different patient scenarios and explore considerations involved in selecting regenerative approaches.
An integrative question-and-answer panel will bring the certification experience to a close.
Beyond the Conference: Building Connections Across Borders
Each international gathering allows medical professionals to share experiences, build connections, and expand their knowledge.
ISSCA 126 will unite experts from different countries and medical specialties. These diverse perspectives will encourage meaningful discussions beyond the conference sessions.
For physicians in Bolivia and neighboring countries, the event provides access to international medical education in Latin America. It also offers a chance to join ISSCA’s growing global community.
As ISSCA 126 approaches, participants can look forward to two days of professional development, and discussions about the future of regenerative medicine.
The Journey Continues: Where Is ISSCA Heading Next?
Following ISSCA 126 Bolivia, the international educational journey continues with three upcoming destinations before the end of 2026.
ISSCA 127: São Paulo, Brazil | November 20–21
The next stop will be São Paulo, where ISSCA will continue bringing together the medical community for discussions on regenerative medicine, scientific innovation, and advanced clinical education.
ISSCA 128: Bogotá, Colombia | November 27–29
Bogotá will welcome ISSCA for another international gathering, creating new opportunities for physicians to expand their knowledge and connect with specialists from across the region.
ISSCA 129: Dubai, UAE | December 4–5
The 2026 international event calendar will conclude in Dubai, bringing the ISSCA experience to the Middle East and connecting medical professionals through another opportunity for education and scientific exchange.
Each destination represents another opportunity to advance the organization’s mission of making specialized regenerative medicine education accessible to physicians worldwide.
The Future of Regenerative Medicine Is Built Through Continuous Education
As regenerative medicine advances, informed clinical judgment and scientific knowledge become essential. Continuous professional development is equally important.
ISSCA 126 Bolivia marks another step forward in this journey. It connects international expertise with medical professionals exploring the opportunities and challenges of regenerative medicine.
With the conference approaching, Santa Cruz de la Sierra is ready to make history as part of ISSCA’s international community.
And for those looking ahead, the next opportunities to join the ISSCA community are already on the horizon.
