Train and learn with us at the EDDU.

Our Training and Outreach working group is involved in a variety of activities designed to help researchers learn how to use iPSCs in their projects, and to provide opportunities for them to engage with others in the iPSC field.

“Introduction to iPSCs” hands-on workshops

  • Lectures and hands-on training for working with iPSCs
  • Trainers from the EDDU and
  • Sponsorship provided by ƻԺ’sHealthy Brains, Healthy Lives (HBHL)and STEMCELL Technologies
  • The EDDU also hosts annual iPSC workshops, which have been held virtually for the last few years. Theseareexcellent opportunities to learn about working with human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and how they can be differentiated into neuronal cell types. For more details, see the .

Access to virtual training resources

  • Through the Neuro YouTube channel you can accessin up to six different languages to learn how to culture iPSCs and iPSC-derived neural cells.

Open protocols

  • Development of openly available protocols for culturing iPSCs and differentiating iPSCs into specific cell types
  • Visit ourfor more information about our iPSC protocols

Open access software

  • Development of openly available software to accelerate data analysis

Undergraduate training opportunities

  • Opportunities for undergraduate students to work within the EDDU
  • Mentored by senior researcher with opportunities for projects from stem cells to developing image analysis software
