The Stem Cells and Regeneration Course (formerly known as FrHESC) is a
dynamic, evolving laboratory and lecture course that includes the
complete array of biological and medical perspectives from fundamental
basic biology of "stemness" and mechanisms of regeneration through
evaluation of pluripotent stem cells for therapeutic benefit.
The NIH sponsored course is designed for postdoctoral fellows, newly
independent scientists, and established investigators seeking
comprehensive and sophisticated training in research strategies and
state-of-the-art cellular, molecular and genetic approaches for
advancing human embryonic stem cell research.
The course consists of daily lectures from resident faculty and other
invited speakers, discussions and informal seminars, laboratory
exercises and demonstrations, and one-on-one tutorials.
The Stem Cells and Regeneration Course will exclusively use human
embryonic stem cell lines on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry
and being routinely cultured at the Pittsburgh Development Center.
