Overview

The CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system enables high-efficiency genome editing to generate functional gene-edited cells. Bring this system and its best practices to your lab by registering for this three-day course consisting of live-streamed, interactive lectures and laboratory demonstrations. Guided by STEMCELL Technologies’ in-house pluripotent stem cell experts, you will gain the skills to successfully derive and maintain CRISPR-Cas9 genome-edited human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs).

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the evolution of genome editing techniques and hPSC culture
  • Know the advantages and mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9
  • Understand the potential and challenges associated with CRISPR-Cas9 in hPSCs
  • Be familiar with a typical hPSC genome editing workflow including the derivation of clonal lines
  • Distinguish CRISPR-Cas9 guide RNA (gRNA) formats
  • Understand and apply the principles of gRNA design to design a gRNA sequence and knock-in DNA donor template
  • Identify contributing factors to off-target effects of CRISPR-Cas9
  • Understand considerations for knockout and knock-in experiments
  • Discern the benefits and drawbacks of different methods of determining genome editing efficiencies to identify the most suitable method for your research objectives/applications
  • Understand the basics of hPSC cell quality and considerations for hPSC research

As part of the course, you will receive:

  • An electronic copy of the course book
  • Certificate of course completion from STEMCELL Technologies
  • Post-training support from the trainers and STEMCELL’s Scientific Support team
