BIOMG 6320
Stem Cells and Regeneration
This course will cover basic aspects of tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis with emphasis on embryonic and adult stem cell function and related clinical applications. The focus will be placed on mouse and human stem cells. The discussion will be structured around relevant research papers that allow more in-depth analysis of the material taught during lectures.
Topics
- Delineate and describe basic concepts of stem cell biology and adult tissue regeneration.
- Analyze primary data from a leading medical research field and explain its impact on translational science (from bench to bedside).
- Present and explain complex science data in a formal setting and test strategies for stimulating group discussion.
- Examine the ethical implications of stem cell research and evaluate its potential impact on society.
- Develop and propose an experimental design that demonstrates critical thinking and creativity.
