Biomedicine: Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine

Education facts

Code: BIMM25

<p>This is an elective course in the Master's programme in Biomedicine. Step into the world of stem cells and regenerative medicine. This course introduces you to cutting-edge research and the science behind cell reprogramming, regeneration, and ethical challenges shaping tomorrow’s therapies.</p><p>Explore stem cell biology and regenerative medicine with a focus on Lund University’s leading research areas. You will start by learning about cell plasticity, reprogramming, and how regeneration works. Then, you will study stem cells from different perspectives, including their niches and organs. The course also addresses complications linked to dysfunctional stem cells in therapies and tissue engineering, and examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding this research. Its purpose is to prepare you for work in fields involving stem cells and regenerative medicine by introducing ongoing research.</p>
