Program Content

Compeletely face-to-face training program with theoretical lectures and at least 55% hands-on practical laboratory practical sessions. Throughout the program, participants would gain in-depth experience in the fundamentals of pluripotent stem cells and laboratory practices.

Application Process

Participants will delve into the principles of mammalian cell culture, human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) biology and reprogramming methods, pluripotency characterization, applications of iPSC and derived cells (disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine), and bioinformatic analysis of iPSC-based datasets within the scope of theoretical training. In the practical training section of the program, participants gained hands-on experience in iPSC thawing, medium change and passage techniques, feeder (MEF) cell plating and iPSC colony morphology evaluation, iPSC freezing and stockpiling protocols, iPSC pluripotency analyses, and an introduction to embryonic body formation and differentiation.

Registration Process

To maintain the highest level of educational quality, the program is limited to 12 participants, with priority given to researchers at the master's and higher academic levels. Following a rigorous pre-application and evaluation process, selected participants could attend and completed this intensive training program.

Certificate

Participants who attend at least 80% of the training program and successfully pass the final evaluation exam are entitled to receive a digitally verifiable certificate of achievement.
