Focus Session

TOOLS FOR BASIC AND APPLIED STEM CELL BIOLOGY

Organized by COREdinates

Supported by STEMCELL Technologies and Thermo Fisher Scientific

Stem Cell COREdinates (www.COREdinates.org) is an international consortium of human pluripotent stem cell-focused core facilities that share expertise with protocols, reagents, and technological advancements to establish “best practices" in the maintenance, derivation, differentiation and genetic manipulation of human pluripotent stem cells. Each of our member cores plays an important role in the research and educational missions of their respective institutions. The Focus Session will have selected presentations from Stem Cell COREdinate members and our sponsors. These presentations will cover a number of different areas of expertise including stem cell characterization, gene editing and disease modeling.This session will benefit stem cell researchers who are just starting to use pluripotent stem cell tools in their own laboratories and experienced researchers who are seeking to expand their toolbox. These presentations from the COREdinate members will cover a variety of topics that will have direct impact on improving workflow, establishing new technology and advancing existing methodology.
