Regenerative medicine using iPSCs: setting your research up for success

This webinar will provide key insights and tactics for translating pluripotent stem cell research from the bench into therapeutic application.

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are actively being used in clinical trials as potential therapeutic treatments for neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and more. The process of translating iPS cell research into a therapy can be daunting and undefined. In particular, it is critical for researchers to maintain the quality and consistency of the iPS cells or their differentiated derivatives during the translation process, all while minimizing costs.

This webinar will provide technical and tactical considerations that will help researchers improve the efficiency of their workflow as they begin translating their iPS cell research into a therapy.

This webinar was recorded on 3 March 2017.
