The BioSciConcepts cell culture workshops are designed to provide a solid understanding of cell culture through classroom presentation and laboratory work. Clients will gain significant experience in the manipulation of animal cells through culture. Through integrated learning methods, utilizing hands-on training to reinforce lecture material students will learn the biological basis and relevance of the process of culturing cells. This will allow students to translate the techniques into applications in their own laboratories. At the end of the workshop we will conduct a full workshop review, and data troubleshooting session. This workshop provide prerequisite training for the culture of numerous cell types including stem cells.
