Course description
The purpose of the course is to enable doctoral students to obtain a basic understanding of stem cell biology with focus on production and study of organoids in vitro culture, cell-based therapies, genome engineering and translational medicine. Experts in the field will provide a fresh overview of clinical and pre-clinical research aiming at development of novel treatment possibilities, but also discussing current limitations and general ethical aspects.
This course is given in collaboration with the Master's Programme in Biomedicine.
