Øvrige
Øvrige — This course is an opportunity for you to get hands on experience in handling induced pluripotent stem cells as well as differentiating those into neural and glial cells. Moreover, you will learn how to repair or knock in single nucleotides using CRISPR-Cas9 in practice and theory and gain experience with growing 3D retinal organoids. In addition to the practical learning experience you will get all the theoretical background as well as invited keynote lectures by experts in the field.
