Tools and techniques workshop
Stanford University Center for Stem Cell Research and Education
This will be a nuts and bolts workshop with top Stanford researchers focusing on tools and techniques for human cell culture. Topics include directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells towards neural cells, endodermal cells, cardiomyocytes, germ cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and culturing primary hepatocytes. Talks will focus on advanced cell culture methods: differentiation protocols, lineage specific markers, cell dissociation techniques, media and growth factors and growth substrates, in vivo imaging, genetic manipulations of human embryonic stem cells, and immuno-profiling. The program includes networking opportunities, lunch, and post-workshop drinks.
July 11, 2008, 9:00 am–5:00 pm
