Course Information
Description
This laboratory and lecture-based course is designed to provide a survey of model systems and technical approaches utilized in developmental, stem cell, and regenerative biology, as well as integrate students with the DRB community at Harvard. Students will complete a series of in-person mini-rotations with laboratories of DRB faculty across the Harvard campuses and affiliated hospitals. Students engage with faculty and trainees to gain experience with a variety of models, experimental techniques, and research areas. Each day of the course will consist of an overview lecture followed by lab tours, protocol observations or activities, and interactive discussions and/or case study sessions or hands-on laboratory activities and interactive discussions, designed to facilitate student, lab member, and PI interactions. The course will culminate in short, informal student-led (5 minutes, 5 slides) brainstorming sessions inspired by a lab session of their choosing.
