Aim
To provide theoretical and practical training in the understanding of human pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (ESCs, iPSCs). This course will cover their culture requirements and extensive potential applications in modern research and medicine.
Who is it for
BSc, MSc and MPhil/PhD students, graduates, postdocs, technicians, researchers/practitioners, and scientists from academia, NHS, or bioindustry who are new to working with pluripotent stem cells or want to gain up-to-date knowledge and hands-on experience. The course is suited for all levels and positions and will be offered in two formats: one for those without previous knowledge of cell culture (Basic format), and one for those with previous knowledge of cell culture (Advanced format). A certificate will be awarded upon complete attendance and engagement to enhance your CV.
