Launch of the "Advances in Stem Cell Biology" MOOC

The Labex Revive and the Institut Pasteur are launching a MOOC called Advances in Stem Cell Biology 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.

The MOOC will start on February 18, 2019 through the Cousera platform.

This MOOC is organized in 5 chapters:
1. General concepts in stem cell biology
2. Tissue specific stem cells
3. Pluripotent stem cells
4. Organoids
5. Stem cell applications

Each module is composed of several sessions. In each session, you will find 4 to 6-minute videos and a multiple-choice test to help you check your understanding on the different subjects. The videos are in English.

This MOOC is intended for research scientists and PhD students who already have laboratory experience and a good knowledge (equivalent to a Master level) in developmental and cell biology. It provides a wide scope of how stem cells have adopted strategies to effect organogenesis and regeneration in different organisms.

MOOC director:
Prof. Shahragim Tajbakhsh – Stem Cells and Development team at the Institut Pasteur
