Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine is organising a Hands on workshop on mesenchymal stem cells from July 4th to July 9th 2011.
Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine (MRM),Bangalore is a constituent Institute under Manipal University. established in August 2007 with an aim to promote education and nurture cutting edge research in the upcoming area of stem cells. MRM runs post graduate, M.Phil and Ph.D level programs in Regenerative Medicine. MRM also offers an excellent platform for basic and translational research on stem cells.
MRM will be conducting 6-day hands on workshop on Mesenchymal stem cells in collaboration with BD Biosciences. The objective of this workshop is to make scientists and students from allied fields aware of the culture techniques and procedures required to initiate research on Mesenchymal stem cells. The modules of this course has been meticulously designed by experts of this field and would include an amalgam of specialized guest lectures and practical training courses.
The wet labs would be run by experienced faculty at MRM and How cytometry and tissue engineering experts from BD Biosciences.
The workshop offers training on:
- Isolation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from perinatal sources
- Culture. maintenance and propagation of MSCs
- Cellular and molecular characterisation of MSCs according to ISC T guidelines
- Testing the differentiation potency of MSCs into mesenchymal lineages
- Analysis of side population from various stem cell sources by flow cytometry
- Culturing of MSCs using different matrices and scaffolds
The participants will also have the rare opportunity to hear lectures on relevant topics of stem cell biology from eminent scientists in this Held.
