The NSF-funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) trainees will be offering a stem cell crash course Thursday, October 10. The short course will include an introduction to stem cell biology and stem cell research, important review papers in the field, and information on what resources, through the Stem Cell Engineering Center and core, are available at Georgia Tech to aid in your stem cell research.

The NSF-IGERT program in Stem Cell Biomanufacturing was awarded to Georgia Tech in 2010 to educate and train the first generation of Ph.D. students in the translation and commercialization of stem cell technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
