Official ISSCA Event 16 years at the frontier of regenerative medicine

Dubai

UAE • December 4–6, 2026

Three days to close 2026 with the protocols you will bring back to your practice in 2027: one day of conference with international faculty, then two advanced certifications taught in small groups. Seats are capped at 100 physicians, and the Regenerative Medicine Certification takes only 20.

Day 1: Conference

Friday, December 4 · Eleven topics with international faculty, then MedConnect in the evening.

Day 2 & Day 3: ISSCA Certifications

Small groups: 40 physicians in the Peptide Certification, 20 in the Regenerative Medicine Certification.

Event Overview

WHAT IS THE ISSCA DUBAI CONFERENCE?

"ISSCA Dubai is a three-day international medical event built on three pillars — the science that defines regenerative medicine today, the protocols you'll actually deploy in your clinic Monday morning, and the international network that turns a conference into a career."

— ISSCA Executive Committee

Regenerative medicine and peptides are evolving at an unstoppable pace. Join the leaders shaping the future of Cellular Therapies (MSCs, exosomes, NK cells, AI in diagnostics) and Advanced Peptide Therapy (regenerative and reparative peptides, GH-axis, neuroregeneration, immunomodulation).

This event is clinical, applicable and validated — a true opportunity to learn directly from those implementing cutting-edge protocols in MSK, autoimmune, neuroregeneration, immunomodulation, aesthetics and longevity. Plus the MedConnect Reception — the evening your international medical network actually takes shape — conversations and direct access to global faculty and peers from 30+ countries.

ISSCA Dubai — international faculty on stage

DUBAI

ISSCA’s last congress of 2026 — physicians from the Middle East, Europe, the Americas and Asia.

The ISSCA advantage

Globally recognized certification.

16 years at the global frontier of regenerative medicine — now in Dubai.

ISSCA brings its internationally recognized clinical framework to Dubai: the protocols, dosing and safety standards for integrating exosomes, stem cells, NAD+ and peptides into real practice. What you learn on Day 1 is what you can apply in your clinic — backed by a globally recognized ISSCA credential.

Internationally recognized clinical & regulatory framework Covered in detail during Day 1 Sourcing & compliance guidance for peptides included
What You'll Learn

Key Topics

MSCs: paracrine mechanisms vs differentiation • Secretome and exosomes as cell-free therapy • Muse Cells, NK Cells, and Dendritic cells • Clinical design: dosing, administration routes, patient selection, and safety

Plus: MedConnect Networking Events

ISSCA App

Connect with physicians before, during and after the event. Carry your network in your pocket.

ISSCA Magazine

Quarterly clinical journal — protocols, case studies and updates from the ISSCA faculty network.

ISSCA Experience

Global digital hub — the world's leading regenerative medicine events and experts in one place.

365-Day Community

12,000+ ISSCA-certified physicians across 45+ countries — actively applying these protocols in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The conference (Friday, December 4) gives you the full slate of keynotes, ISSCA's international faculty, the MedConnect networking evening and an official certificate of participation.

A certification already includes the Day 1 conference and MedConnect: the Advanced Peptide Certification runs on Saturday, December 5 (40 physicians) and the Advanced Regenerative Medicine Certification on Sunday, December 6 (20 physicians). Golden All Access covers all three days and both certifications.

The ISSCA certification is issued exclusively to licensed physicians (MD). The conference and the hands-on sessions are open to all healthcare professionals, but the credential itself is physician-only.

No, the ticket covers the event only. Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre hosts all three days and sits next to Dubai International Airport (DXB).
MedConnect is our signature networking event held the evening of the conference. It's a relaxed social setting to connect with speakers and peers over cocktails and appetizers. Considered the "heartbeat" of ISSCA events — where real partnerships are formed. Included with your conference pass.
This is a live, in-person experience. The presentations remain available after the congress through the ISSCA App.
All sessions are in English, with live translation into more than 60 languages on your own phone.
You receive an official ISSCA certificate of participation, recognized by practitioners in 45+ countries. Physicians who take a certification also earn the ISSCA International Certification for each one they complete (Advanced Peptide Therapy, Advanced Regenerative Medicine) — printed, framed in acrylic, with a unique serial number — part of ISSCA's 16-year global education ecosystem. CME/CE accreditation is in progress for future ISSCA events.
Business casual for the conference day. Smart casual for the MedConnect evening event. Dubai in December is warm and pleasant (19-28°C); pack light layers — evenings can be cooler.
This pass is for medical professionals attending the sessions. Each attendee needs their own ticket. If you need a guest pass for the evening MedConnect event only, contact our support team at info@stemcellsgroup.com.
The reservation fee is non-refundable. However, you can transfer your ticket to another physician or to any of ISSCA's 17 global events if notified at least 14 days in advance. Your investment is protected — just email us with the new attendee's details or your preferred alternative event.
Yes. After registration, email us at info@stemcellsgroup.com with your full name (as on passport), passport number, and nationality. We'll issue an official invitation letter for your visa application.
Yes. The exhibitor hall features equipment manufacturers, product suppliers, and service providers relevant to regenerative medicine. This is an opportunity to evaluate products and meet vendors — but the conference content itself is vendor-agnostic and clinically focused.
No. This is an in-person only event. The networking and direct access to speakers is a core part of the value — something that can't be replicated virtually.
