#StemCellfie Contest 2026

In June, your fellow researchers submitted magnificent microscopy images of their human- or animal-derived cells. Following a vote by STEMCELL employees, the top 60 “cellfies” are displayed in the gallery below. From fascinating pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived organoids, to spider-like neural progenitor cells, our contests have demonstrated that science truly is beautiful! Which #StemCellfie is your favorite?

Until July 16 at 11:59 p.m. PDT, you can vote for your favorite images once every 24 hours!

Image order is randomized.
