The Centre for Stem Cell Biology (CSCB) is recognized internationally as a Centre of Excellence for research on pluripotent stem cells. The research and discoveries of the CSCB are central to the long-term goal of developing clinical applications for pluripotent stem cells in regenerative medicine.

We were the first laboratory to undertake research on human embryonic stem cells in the UK in 1999 and have played a major role in training scientists in this dynamic field. The Centre complements the overall strength in Developmental Biology and Medicine at the University of Sheffield.

We coordinate the International Stem Cell Initiative, an international consortium of laboratories defining standards. It is also the  main partner in ESTOOLS, an EU funded collaboration of researchers developing technologies for embryonic stem cells.

The expertise and excellent facilities of the CSCB represents a significant opportunity for collaborative activity with all organisations involved in pluripotent stem cell research.

mRNA Reprogramming 101 Training Courses

Comprehensive 3-Day Course in mRNA Reprogramming Learn the fundamentals of reprogramming from the leaders in the field. Stemgent's mRNA Reprogramming 101 Course covers all of the essential protocols and techniques for mRNA reprogramming of human cells in a hands-on laboratory environment. This course is designed to enable researchers to easily transfer essential techniques to successful mRNA repro-gramming experiments carried out in their own labs. Two opportunities to attend! October 17—19, 2012 Sheffield, UK October 23—25, 2012 Sheffield, UK Who Should attend All researchers interested in learning about the specifics of reprogramming human cells Researchers interested in reprogramming cells with a safe, non-integrative, non-viral, and xeno-free system to generate clinically-relevant human pluripotent stem cell lines Researchers entering the field or those who are new to human iPS cell culture All researchers who are preparing or designing their mRNA reprogramming experiments Further information and how to register.
