With a focus on the diabetes, endocrine and cardiovascular areas this course will give you the latest knowledge about stem cells in clinical use and how to use stem cells for disease modeling. With sessions on endogenous regeneration and the commercial outlook, you will get a deeper understanding of regenerative medicine and stem cells in different clinical and commercial settings.

Interactive sessions with case work will give you a chance to work on specific problems with fellow students and at the same time have an opportunity to broaden your network – both nationally and internationally.
