MOUSE GENETICS AND EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS: LAB IMMERSION AND UNDERSTANDING CURRENT LITERATURE

CRB 810
Course Description

Clinically relevant methods of scientific thought, inquiry and analysis via the presentation of specific research topics. Emerging concepts in developmental genetics and embryonic stem (ES) cell biology are used as a means of introducing the participants to the critical importance of identifying the "right" question, selecting the "best" tools to answer the question, using the appropriate logic to interpret experimental results and finally, constructing appropriate conclusions. Application of the literature of mouse genetics and laboratory research to biomedical health decisions. Strong emphasis on the tools used in the research literature and to 'get your hands dirty' learning the basics of the laboratory techniques involved.

FUNDAMENTALS OF STEM CELL AND REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY

CRB 850

Gain in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of stem cell and regenerative biology. This knowledge forms the basis for novel translational research and both diagnostic and therapeutic options. Topics to be covered include the origins of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and how they are being used for both research and for clinical applications. Read, discuss, and present cutting-edge literature on how iPSCs are being used to model a variety of human diseases and how stem cell therapies are being used to treat autoimmune disorders such as Lupus Erythematosus, Multiple Sclerosis, and Crohn's disease. Participate in the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center weekly seminar, and hear from top UW researchers about how they are using stem cells to develop therapies for bone and vascular repair.
