Aim and content
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
Skills:
a. Freeze and thaw human induced pluripotent stem cells
b. Maintain and expand human induced pluripotent stem cells
c. Differentiate human induced pluripotent stem cells into divergent neural cell types (including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and cortical neurons) using the latest 2D and 3D methodologies.
d. Analyze induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural cells using different molecular methodologies.
e. Design CRISPRs for gene-editing of pluripotent stem cells
Knowledge:
f. Acquire a detailed understanding of the derivation of pluripotent stem cells
g. Acquire a detailed theoretical understanding of the states of pluripotency.
h. Acquire a detailed understanding of early neural developmental processes and molecular cues that govern neural patterning.
i. Gain detailed knowledge on state-of-the-art methods for culturing pluripotent stem cells.
j. Gain detailed knowledge on the latest methods for differentiating pluripotent stem cells into neural cell types (with focus on neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes).
k. Gain expertise on use and application of CRISPRS in gene-editing of pluripotent stem cells.
Competences:
l. Will be able to develop custom-designed experiments in their own lab pertaining to pluripotent stem cell culture and differentiation into neural cells.
m. Will be able to custom-design CRISPRs for gene-editing of their own cell lines.
