Learn how regenerative medicine (RM) may hold the potential to bring (human and animal) therapies from the lab into the clinic. The convergence of science, technology and medicine in Utrecht are highlighted in this one-week course.
This course includes interactions with experts and patients, hands-on bench work, and demonstrations. It offers ample opportunities for engaging with lecturers, keynote speakers, and fellow participants.
Regenerative Medicine (RM) is an exciting field that holds much promise for generating innovative therapies for a wide variety of diseases and disorders. RM focuses on harnessing the body’s own repair mechanisms to replace or heal damaged tissues and organs. In this way, it is hoped that the shortage and rejection of transplanted donor organs may be solved in the future. Students will engage with each other to discuss the significance of RM and its potential impact on healthcare, gaining insights into the innovative treatments of the future.
This intensive course will give students a unique overview of RM. This field has the ability to touch every ailment, ranging from cancer to heart disease to nervous disorders. This multidisciplinary field incorporates stem cell biology, tissue engineering, biomaterials engineering, and transplantation science. In addition, it also includes various enabling technologies and clinical application areas, with the ultimate goal of improving patient lives. In this interactive course at a beginning Master's level, you will explore the fundamentals of regenerative medicine, stem cell biology and technologies, as well as how these scientific principles are translated and implemented into patient care. The course combines lectures, tutorials with hands-on experiments, demonstrations and tours.
We encourage you to take this course in combination with the 3D Printing and Biofabrication summer course.
