WHAT IS THE ISSCA SANTA CRUZ CONFERENCE?
"ISSCA Santa Cruz is a two-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 (BPC-157, TB-500, 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.
SANTA CRUZ
The epicenter of Latin American regenerative medicine — live, clinical, actionable.
