Overview
Learn how to effectively maintain and characterize high-quality human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) through live-streamed training delivered by experts from STEMCELL Technologies. This three-day, part-time course consists of interactive lectures and laboratory demonstrations designed to teach you essential techniques for culturing hPSCs in a feeder-independent system and how to assess hPSC lines for building a well-characterized working cell bank.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify high-quality morphological characteristics of hPSCs and describe critical quality attributes of hPSCs.
- Understand and apply the best practical skills in maintaining high-quality hPSC cultures.
- Identify undifferentiated morphology of confluent induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) ready for passaging.
- Recognize critical aspects of handling hPSCs for successful preservation and storage.
- Identify and troubleshoot critical aspects in the passaging and maintenance of undifferentiated iPSCs.
- Evaluate the recovery of iPSCs and identify viable cells.
- Understand the importance of maintaining hPSC quality.
- Recognize the importance of key quality control procedures and the potential consequences of failing to carry them out.
- Be aware of how genomic instability can impact hPSC cultures.
As part of the course, you will receive:
- An electronic copy of the course book
- Certificates of course completion from STEMCELL Technologies and Continuing Professional Development (CPD), UK
- Post-training support from the trainers and STEMCELL’s Scientific Support team
Space is limited, please apply early for the best chance of securing a seat for your desired date. Registration closes one week before the course date.
