Derivation and Culture of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) Virtual Course

December 14 2020 - December 17 2020

This popular course was established in 2015 in collaboration with the Wellcome Sanger Institute Cellular Generation and Phenotyping (CGaP) core facility and the UK Stem Cell Bank.

The programme will include virtual practical laboratory sessions, lectures and discussions covering the following topics:

  • Approaches for reprogramming of somatic cells (reprogramming methodologies – virus and episomal; somatic cell types – skin fibroblasts and PBMCs)
  • Lectures on application of iPSC cells in disease modelling, genome editing and differentiation
  • Cryopreservation and recovery
  • Passaging
  • Quality control (identity, karyology, mycoplasma, sterility, cell markers)
  • Assessing pluripotency and differentiation of iPSC (theory)

The course is aimed at research scientists and clinicians/healthcare professionals engaged in relevant research involving hiPSCs.

The application deadline for this course is 8th October 2020, please see the Wellcome Genome Campus website for more information.

With any Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test ordered, a Record of Discussion (RoD) form will also need to be submitted. This document is to record the patient’s consent for genomic testing and their choice on taking part in research. Guidance on the patient choice conversation can be found here. 
 
This RoD form will be available for clinicians to download from this webpage. Once completed with the patient, it can be send to the lab with the corresponding test order form and sample.
Tests available to order will be listed in the National Genomic Test Directory. A test order form will soon be made available for clinicians on this webpage to download and complete. This form will include the address of the laboratory that the appropriate sample and completed form needs to be sent to.
 
Until the new Genomic Laboratory Service goes live, please continue to follow existing test order processes.
 
Later this year, the online test ordering tool for Whole Genome Sequencing will be integrated into the National Genomics Informatics System (NGIS) and clinicians will be able to search or filter to find a clinical indication, confirm eligibility criteria and start the test request process for their patient.
