Spring 2022 Stem Cells, Genome Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Course (BMENE6510)

The lectures held Thursdays 1:00 – 3:00 PM will include general lectures on stem cell biology followed by student presentations and discussion of the primary literature. Guests not registered for the course are also welcome, please contact the course instructors for more information.

Prerequisites: (BMEN E4001) or (BMEN E4002) and Biology, Cell Biology

The themes to be presented include:

  1. Genome Engineering with CRISPR, TALEN and ZFN in stem cells
  2. Basic stem cell concepts
  3. Basic cell and molecular biological characterization of endogenous stem cell populations
  4. Concepts related to reprogramming
  5. Directed differentiation of stem cell populations
  6. The use of stem cells in disease modeling or tissue replacement/repair
  7. Stem cells in regenerative medicine
