Overview
Stanford University is dedicated to the training of outstanding scientific leaders in the field of stem cell research. We train individuals at all levels of their careers, including students, postdoctoral fellows, medical fellows, physicians and research scientists in the basic biology of human embryo and pluripotent stem cell research. The core curriculum has been developed in collaboration with the faculty of Stanford University, University of California at Santa Cruz and the Parkinson’s Institute.
The curriculum encompasses three areas: 1) Basic hESC Biology covering core essentials of hESC biology for individuals with little or no previous experience in hESC research, 2) Advanced or Specialized Stem Cell Techniques courses that provides individual instruction in selected scientific topics such as hESC and iPS line derivation and 3) Systems Biology that reaches across institutions to bring together scientists in stem cell and computational research.
All students who complete the training in basic and advanced methods in hESC biology will have priority access to the specialized equipment required for hESC derivation, culture, differentiation, analysis and SCNT, housed in the Shared Research Facility at Stanford University Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (ISCBRM) on a space-provided basis.
