課程概述

Understand the early embryo development and modern reproductive biotechnologies  

課程目標
This course will focus on mouse animal model to provide students a state-of-the- art of the technologies in embryo development and pluripotent stem cell (i.e. embryonic stem cell) research and its applications. The course will provide valuable opportunities for students to participate various practical training and knowledge in oocyte and embryo handling, in vitro fertilization, cryopreservation of egg and embryo, micromanipulation techniques (i.e. intracytoplasmic sperm injection and somatic cell nuclear transfer, embryo biopsy, blastocyst injection…etc), derivation and in vitro/in vivo characterizations of pluripotent stem cells.  
課程要求
A background in developmental biology or reproductive biology is required.
