BIOLOGY OF HEART DISEASE AND REGENERATION

CRB 650

Covers the most current knowledge of the principles of organogenesis. Focuses on the molecular and cellular pathways leading to normal tissue and organ development and regeneration, including in depth discussions of specification and differentiation processes.

CRB 860

The molecular and cellular development of the heart and of its regenerative potential. This knowledge forms the basis for novel translational research and both diagnostic and therapeutic options. Topics to be covered include the genetics underlying normal heart development as well as cardiac tissue specification and differentiation with a focus on molecular signals, associated signal transduction pathways, and transcriptional regulation. Read, discuss, and present cutting-edge literature on the genetic contributions to congenital heart defects and adult heart disease and on cardiac stem cells and the regenerative capacity of the heart. Participate in Adult and Pediatric Cardiology Grand Rounds, the Madison Perinatology Conference, learn about cutting-edge molecular diagnostics for fetal, pediatric and adult cardiac disease, and learn when and how to perform an adult echocardiogram.

CRB 720

Covers the most current knowledge of the principles of development and organogenesis with a particular focus on novel experimental and analytical approaches (microscopy, single cell multi-omics, bioinformatics). Focuses on the molecular and cellular pathways leading to normal tissue and organ development and regeneration, including in depth discussions of specification and differentiation processes.

CRB 640

Provides a foundation to understand fundamental biological, mechanistic, and experimental concepts in the field of stem cell and regenerative biology.

CRB 675

Examines various special topics in Cell and Regenerative Biology.
