Register for the third edition of the Advances in Stem Cell Biology MOOC

The digital education office is pleased to invite you to sign up for the third edition of the “ Advances in Stem Cell Biology " MOOC, from March 12 to December 17, 2024 led by Shahragim Tajbakhsh.

Stem cells have the spectacular ability to restore the function of damaged tissues, providing major opportunities for fundamental studies on organogenesis, regeneration, diseases, and ageing. In spite of intense research in this field, many unanswered questions remain regarding stem cell regulation and function.

The Advances in Stem Cell Biology MOOC was created to provide an overview of stem cell biology, the properties of stem cells and their potential in directing organogenesis and regeneration in different organisms, and how they can be exploited for therapeutic purposes.

During this MOOC you will learn about the characteristics and properties of stem cells, along with the latest discoveries in the field from general concepts to different categories of stem cells, and how they participate in organogenesis in the organism - and in vitro.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

•   Summarize the general concepts in stem cell biology

•   Describe how tissue specific stem cells participate in organogenesis

•   Explain how to derive pluripotent stem cells

•   Define how organoids can help to understand development biology

•   Discuss stem cell applications for therapeutic purposes
