*****************************************************************************************************************

Dates: October 16-18, 2023

Location: IMBA, Dr. Bohr-Gasse 3, 1030 Vienna, Austria

Hosted By: IMBA Stem Cell Core Facility
 

Agenda:

This hands-on workshop provides skills of handling and genetically modifying human embryonic stem cells as well as generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).

To provide a comfortable learning experience and allow for personalized interactions between the instructors and attendees, the numbers are limited to a maximum of four (4) students.

 

Topics:

·         Reprogramming of human dermal fibroblasts to iPSCs

·         Feeding, passaging and assessment of human ES cultures

·         Freezing and thawing of human ES cells

·         Gene editing of human ES cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology

This course is highly practical and will be based in a Class II tissue culture facility. All relevant safety equipment, clothing and training will be provided.
