Abstract

The International Society of Differentiation was born from the First International Conference on Cell Differentiation conceived by D.V. and held in Nice, France in 1971. The conference also resulted in the creation of the journal of the Society named Differentiation. The Society advocates for the field of differentiation through the journal Differentiation, organizing and supporting international scientific conferences, honoring scientific achievements, and supporting trainees.
