Live Virtual Training Course: Neural Induction and Differentiation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Coming April 2023

Learn how to effectively derive and assess neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) through live-streamed training delivered by experts at STEMCELL Technologies. Through a combination of interactive lectures and laboratory demonstrations, you will learn essential techniques for generating NPCs from hPSCs via monolayer- and embryoid-body (EB)-based protocols. You will also learn methods for downstream differentiation of NPCs toward neurons and astrocytes, as well as techniques to generate 3D neural organoids.
