ISSCA 124 is the International Society for Stem Cell Application congress held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 10–11, 2026, at the Hilton Buenos Aires. Endorsed by the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), it pairs a full scientific conference with the Advanced Certification in Regenerative Medicine and the Advanced Certification in Peptides, convening 20 international faculty for physicians across Latin America and beyond.
What is ISSCA 124?
ISSCA 124 is the Buenos Aires edition of ISSCA’s international congress circuit — the academic institution’s flagship format for bringing frontier regenerative medicine to practicing physicians. In its 16th year, ISSCA has certified more than 10,000 physicians across 30+ countries, and the Buenos Aires congress is the twelfth stop on a 2026 circuit that has already run across Latin America and Europe.
What distinguishes the 124 is its endorsement by the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) — one of Latin America’s foremost academic institutions — which places ISSCA’s clinical education inside a recognized university framework. The congress also debuts ISSCA Panels, a new format that seats the full faculty together to debate live, and hosts a live recording of Dr. Greg Jones’s podcast from the congress floor.
ISSCA runs the most regenerative medicine congresses in the world, and Buenos Aires concentrates what makes the institution the most global, the most international, and the most academic reference in the field — the congress where physicians who intend to practice at the frontier choose to certify.
“Buenos Aires is where our positioning becomes tangible: a University of Buenos Aires endorsement, 20 faculty from six countries, and a certification physicians can apply immediately. This is the most academic regenerative medicine congress in the region, and the place the best physicians choose to certify.” — Emiliano Herrera, Events & Marketing Director, ISSCA

The permanent core. Three faculty have spoken at all eight congresses of the 2026 circuit and anchor the Buenos Aires program: Benito Novas, Dr. Andrea Lapeire (Argentina), and Prof. Dr. Roni Moya, PhD (Portugal). Their continuity is part of why physicians recognize the ISSCA certification as a consistent global standard rather than a one-off event.
What certifications are offered at ISSCA 124?
Two ISSCA certifications run alongside the Buenos Aires conference:
- Advanced Certification in Regenerative Medicine — ISSCA’s most-delivered certification and a complete entry into regenerative practice: cells, exosomes, peptides, therapeutic stacks, and routes of administration, scaling from entry-level to advanced across any specialty.
- Advanced Certification in Peptides — the applied peptide protocols that have become the highest-demand topic across the 2026 circuit.
Certificates are issued to physicians (MD) only. Other health professionals may take the training and join the full congress, but do not receive a certificate.
What is new at ISSCA 124: ISSCA Panels and the live podcast
ISSCA 124 introduces ISSCA Panels, a debate format that seats the assembled faculty together to work through clinical questions in front of the room — turning a lecture agenda into a live exchange between physicians. The Buenos Aires edition also features a live recording of Dr. Greg Jones’s podcast from the congress floor, extending the conversation to a global audience after the event.
Both sit inside the standard ISSCA congress experience: MedConnect medical networking, the Speakers’ Dinner, a live Q&A panel, and access to ISSCA AI and the ISSCA App.
Why ISSCA 124 matters for physicians
For a physician in Argentina or the wider region, ISSCA 124 compresses a recognized certification, applicable clinical protocols, and access to a 30+ country faculty network into two days — under the academic framework of a UBA-endorsed congress. The Buenos Aires edition follows ISSCA 123 in Lima, where the certification broke its historical attendance record, and continues a circuit built on continuity of faculty and standards rather than one-time appearances.
