Our understanding of human embryonic development is limited by the experimental inaccessibility of the system. Thus, we have been forced to make assumptions about how humans develop based on our knowledge of other mammals, especially the mouse. However, the recent explosion in stem cell research, particularly the generation of human pluripotent stem cells, has provided new opportunities for investigating lineage choice, cell differentiation, tissue organisation and even organ morphogenesis using human cells. Such work promises not only to provide a more complete knowledge of our own developmental origins, but also to inform our efforts to understand and treat developmental disorders and, perhaps most importantly, to help bring regenerative therapies to the clinic.  
  
 This workshop, **“From Stem Cells to Human Development”**, brings together scientists with a common interest in understanding human development using stem cell systems. Topics to be discussed will include the establishment of pluripotency, development of the major lineages and tissue morphogenesis, as well as translational and ethical aspects of human stem cell research.  
  
  There are ~80 places available for this Workshop. Application is now open; please [click here](http://workshops.biologists.com/workshop_sept_2014_applications.html) to apply to attend. All applicants will be informed whether their application has been successful shortly after the closing date for applications (6th June).
