Introduction to Cell Culture Techniques for Regenerative Therapies
 
FEBRUARY 4 – 8, 2013 | Associate Laboratory IBMC.INEB, Rua Campo Alegre 823, 4150-180 Porto

This course, organised by INEB, will cover the principles of cell culture theory for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with strong emphasis in state-of-the-art techniques for cell-identification and cellular properties analysis. Focus will be on stem cells (pluripotent embryonic stem cells, and multipotent stem cells, namely mesenchymal stem/stromal cells), endothelial and immune (myeloid and lymphoid) cells.
