Neural Stem Cells: Biology and Regenerative Medicine Applications

March 3 - April 21, 2021, Wednesdays 2:00-4:45pm

Offered by the Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology and Regenerative Medicine Program

Course description: This course will discuss the current concepts in Neural Stem Cells from basic neurobiology (development, fate specification and maintenance) to their potential clinical applications in treating a broad range of neurological disorders through activation of endogenous cell population, cellular reprograming, cell transplantation as well as gene and drug delivery. Neural stem cells play critical roles in the nervous system and the course is developed to build the necessary knowledge for graduate students and residents within all disciplines in neurosciences.

This course is for MSc and PhD students and is open to graduate students in all disciplines in Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.

Please see the attached notice for more information.
