Training
We provide training tailored to the specific scope of planned iPSC-related projects.
- For projects that rely heavily on iPSC-derived cells — especially those using project-specific iPSC lines not included in the StemCell HUB portfolio — we offer the full training program on “iPSC Handling and Differentiation”.
- For projects based on differentiated cells from iPSC lines available within the StemCell HUB portfolio, we offer training in “iPSC-Derived Cell Type Handling.”
- Additionally, for projects focusing on the phenotyping of iPSC-derived cell types, we provide training in “Phenotyping Techniques.”
iPSC Handling and Differentiation
We offer interested scientists training in the complete workflow of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) culture and differentiation. This includes expansion, passaging, and cryopreservation of iPSCs, as well as guidance on protocols for directed differentiation into specific lineages. The training helps researchers to establish reliable workflows and maintain consistent quality across experiments.
iPSC derived cell type handling
We provide training in the handling of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Participants learn how to thaw, plate, and maintain cardiomyocyte cultures, with a focus on attachment, maturation, and stability. This training supports scientists in setting up robust iPSC-CM models for their own research projects.
Phenotyping techniques
We offer training in commonly used phenotyping techniques for iPSC-derived cells. This includes methods such as contractility analysis, calcium imaging, and electrophysiological recordings, alongside basic morphological and molecular assessments. The training enables researchers to select and apply suitable readouts for characterizing their cellular models.
