1st Human iPSC Workshop April 2nd - 7th 2018
Centre for Stem Cell Research(CSCR) conducted its first Human induced Pluripontent Stem Cells (iPSC) workshop Brochure in April 2018, for a period of 6 days from 2nd to 7th. The workshop was designed to provide better iPSC culture practice and train the researchers to translate the techniques in their own laboratories. The workshop involved hand-on-training and guest lectures by
- Polani Seshagiri, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore
- Anjali Shiras, National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS), Pune
- Shravati Deshpande, inStem, Bangalore
- Indumathi Mariappan, LV Prasad Eye Hospital, Hyderabad.
Ten research scholars from reputed institutes all over India had participated in the program.
