Section Description

Topic: Stem Cell Engineering. This course is intended to provide a foundation in the application of analytical engineering approaches for the quantitative study of stem cell biology and effective translation of stem cells into therapies and diagnostics. The progression of the course content is intended to lead students through the conceptual process of identifying an appropriate type of stem cell based on functional attributes for a desired application, isolation and purification of desired cell type(s), expansion in a stable state, directing the differentiation to specific phenotype(s), and use of appropriate characterization techniques and quality control metrics to quantitatively assess cell phenotype for the development of stem cell-based technologies.
