ANAT 7760 - Stem Cell Workshop

The course will begin with a lecture series on the fundamentals of stem cell biology and the use of stem cells, in particular induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), as models for the study of development and disease. Following the lecture series, each student will present a journal article related to a lecture topic, and write the Specific Aims page of a hypothetical grant application based on one of the discussion papers. Lab sessions will provide students with practical hands-on techniques required for reprogramming, culturing, and cryopreserving iPSCs.
