Hands-On human induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (hiPSC) Culture Training
The Stem Cell Research and Technology Resource Center offers hands-on training in the culture of human iPSCs for Basic and Translational Research.
The course includes a hands-on iPSC culture workshop suitable for those with prior experience in mammalian cell culture or no prior cell culture experience. The workshop aims to quickly give you the skills and knowledge to start independently and confidently growing your iPSCs and undertaking iPSC-based experiments. Topics include:
