Training Programs

The NIH supports short-term training courses in human embryonic stem cell culture techniques. These training courses, offered at various locations, will include hands-on experience to improve the knowledge and skills of biomedical researchers to maintain, characterize, and utilize human embryonic stem cells in basic research studies. The courses are available to investigators in research areas of interest and to all institutes and centers of the NIH.
