Kursens lärandemål At the end of the course, the doctoral student will be able to describe: 1) basics of stem cell biology, stem cell differentiation, and the stem cell niche, 2) a number of novel technologies and approaches in stem cell research and regenerative medicine, 3) strategies for safe and effective translation of basic stem cell biology into the clinic.

The student can demonstrate an interdisciplinary understanding of central concepts in stem cell science and critically evaluate different methods and techniques used. The student will be able to extract and integrate information from state-of-the-art lectures in combination with overview articles and literature searches on the internet within the research field.
Kursens innehåll The course covers key concepts in translational research on stem cells and the stem cell niche from the laboratory to the patient in the clinic. This includes a general overview of stem cell biology and history, sources, homing and circulation and interaction with the immune system, and clinical applications. Invited speakers will give advanced summaries of the latest research in the stem cell and regenerative medicine field.
Arbetsformer The pedagogic framing of this course is based on lectures with corresponding research topics. The student will be welcomed to take an active part, contribute and value discussions on relevant topics in the stem cell field. Networking with students and speakers is highly encouraged in this course.
Obligatoriska moment The lectures and examination are mandatory. Compensation according to the instructions of the course director.
Examination Individual written project report will be performed and handed in at the end of the course. Formative assessment of each student in connection with discussions with lectures and peers.
Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel The course literature will consist of recent original and review papers on selected topics within the field of stem cells and the stem cell niche as well as the latest articles from the speakers¿ lecturers. Handouts from the lecturers will also be included.
