iPS Cell Training Workshop

The Stemcore induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell workshop is aimed at giving participants both practical experience with generation, identification and analysis of iPS cells (optional practical component) and to provide theoretical background of the fast developing field of iPS cell research (lecture component).

3 - 21 May 2010

Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology
University of Queensland
Australia

The workshop consists of:

Practical component I (3 - 5 May)

•    The underlying biology of iPS cells
•    Differentiation of iPS cells
•    iPS cells as disease models
•    Ethics regulations and patentability
•    Epigenetics and reprogramming

Practical component II (13 - 14 & 17- 19 May)
Analysis of Newly Derived iPS Lines
