Derivation and Culture of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) 2017

Derivation and Culture of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) is organized by Wellcome Genome Campus and will be held during Dec 11 - 14, 2017 at Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, England, United Kingdom.

Learning Outcomes :
• Recognise key principles of GCCP and aseptic processing including the role of antibiotics.
• Assess and identify key advantages, disadvantages and critical elements of different approaches to somatic cell reprogramming.
• Assess and identify undifferentiated, fully reprogrammed iPSCs compared to partially reprogrammed iPSC colonies.
• Recognise critical aspects for successful preservation and storage.
• Evaluate the recovery of iPSCs and identify viable cells.
• Identify undifferentiated morphology of confluent iPSCs ready for passaging.
• Identify and troubleshoot critical aspects in the passaging and maintenance of undifferentiated iPSCs.
• Recognise the importance of core QC and potential consequences of failing to carry it out.
• Evaluate different capabilities of each method of determining potential pluripotency.
• Understand the basic principles of flow cytometry and its application to iPSC.

Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available.
