Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has dramatically enhanced stem cell research such as disease modeling
and drug screening, and clinical application for patient-matched cellular replacement therapies. This one-day workshop
provided several lectures and hands-on sessions to cover a key area of importance for techniques and biology underlying
the process of cell reprogramming, productions, maintenance and characterisation of iPSC ensuring the quality of the
stem cell lines produced.
