HUM-MOLGEN events: Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology

HUM-MOLGEN -> Events -> Courses and Workshops

February 25, 2003

The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine
August 3 - 8, 2003

This workshop provides hands-on training for investigators learning how to culture, manipulate, and differentiate ES cells from humans in vitro. Reflecting the current highly critical need for practical training in the manipulation of stem cells in the laboratory, the organizers draw on state-of-the-art expertise in the area of growth, maintenance and differentiation of stem cells from a variety of species and sources. Sixteen participants will engage in both didactic and practical hands-on sessions in The Jackson Laboratory’s Applied Genomics Training Center in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Topics covered:
The preparation of media, including necessary quality control
The preparation of feeder layers
ES cell passaging techniques
ES cell cryopreservation
ES cell transfection techniques
FACs analysis of ES cells and their differentiated derivatives
Embryoid body formation
Neural Differentiation of ES cells
Hematopoietic Differentiation of ES cells
Cardiac Differentiation of ES cells
