Professional Programs
Helping professional scientists achieve their research goals
Pathways to Stem Cell Science offers industry-level programs for working scientists to gain hands-on training with human stem cells. Whether you’re an experienced stem cell biologist or a trainee scientist, our programs provide advanced skills and knowledge for specialized job applications.
Originally developed in 2009 at the University of Southern California, our well-established industry-level courses offer validated protocols that are easy to follow, cost effective and streamlined for use in any laboratory. Participating scientists gain comprehensive training in validated techniques for culturing, freezing and manipulating human stem cells. We save you time and money by developing optimized methods using rigorously tested materials that improve work efficiency and research outcomes.
Our internationally renowned courses are attended by scientists from around the world and provide the perfect opportunity for networking with other science professionals. Unlike equivalent training programs, we update our course materials on a regular basis to incorporate the latest cutting-edge techniques. Course participants enjoy ongoing protocol updates and support with troubleshooting problems after returning to their own laboratories.
Don’t waste time optimizing techniques, validating reagents or struggling with stem cell cultures when our expert instructors are on hand to help you succeed. Apply to one of our professional training programs and gain a certificate of completion for your resume. With our simple registration, affordable tuition and experienced course instructors, Pathways to Stem Cell Science is the number one choice for professional stem cell training.
