Description:

Stem cells represent a new and critical therapeutic modality with applications across the biomedical spectrum. An understanding of the biology of stem cells, their uses in diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the practicalities of generating them, using them and in their clinical translation will benefit students across many biomedical departments. Further, our understanding of disease and our ability to treat it both suffer from our inability to model and understand subclinical progression. Although we can now screen thousands of compounds in a high throughput format, we do not use cell-, tissue-, or disease-relevant models in such screens resulting in reduced success in developing new drugs. This graduate certificate will explore the combination of stem cell-based model systems for designing more effective screens and therapies for disease that can capture both disease progression and therapeutic success.

Residency Requirement (For further information on Tuition & Fees, please refer to the following link): 15 credits (Students must be registered for at least one of the required courses in each of the consecutive terms until a student graduates, if not, the student will be expected to be registered as a non-thesis extension status for that term and pay the fees accordingly. Further information on the tuition fees can be found at the following link (the M.Sc. Non-Thesis Extension must be chosen in the program section): here
