Overview
Learn how to derive and characterize human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from somatic cells through live-streamed training delivered by experts from STEMCELL Technologies. The two-day, part-time course consists of interactive lectures and laboratory demonstrations. You will learn essential techniques to generate iPS cells from human fibroblasts using a non-integrating, self-replicating RNA reprogramming vector and fundamental strategies to expand and characterize newly derived iPS cells to bank for experiments.
Learning Outcomes:
- Know the process to reprogram somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
- Understand the key advantages, disadvantages, and critical elements of different approaches to somatic cell reprogramming.
- Assess and identify undifferentiated, fully reprogrammed iPS cells compared to partially reprogrammed iPS cell colonies.
- Understand and apply the best practical skills to derive and pick iPS cells.
- Understand the workflow for maintaining iPS cells.
- Know the tools and strategies for characterizing iPS cells.
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.
