About This Course

This course introduces the diverse world of stem cells, explaining the key distinctions between embryonic, induced pluripotent (iPSCs), and adult stem cells. It explores the molecular mechanisms underlying pluripotency and the revolutionary “Yamanaka factors” that enable cellular reprogramming. The methods of directed differentiation into specific lineages, such as cardiac, neural, and hepatic, are examined alongside the role of key signalling pathways such as Wnt and BMP. The course also considers the development of organoids and the integration of CRISPR genome engineering to advance regenerative therapies. Finally, it addresses the practical aspects of cell banking, GMP manufacturing, and the ethical considerations surrounding human–animal chimeras.

Who Is This Course For

This course is for life sciences and medical professionals interested in mastering a discipline at the forefront of medical innovation. Whether you are aiming for postgraduate specialisation in regenerative medicine or seeking a strong technical foundation for a career in the biotech industry, with a focus on cell therapy pipelines and clinical applications, this is the ideal place to start.

What you'll learn

  • Understand the different types of stem cells and the hierarchy of potency, from totipotent to multipotent.
  • Learn the techniques for generating iPSCs and the epigenetic remodelling involved in cellular induction.
  • Gain insight into 3D culture systems and the engineering of brain, gut, and liver organoids.
  • Understand how CRISPR is used for genome engineering in stem cells and the correction of disease-specific mutations.
  • Learn about quality control markers, genomic stability, and the regulatory frameworks of the FDA, EMA, and MHRA.

Meet Your Instructor

Dr. Sherif Idriss

Sherif Idriss holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Lübeck, Germany, and an M.Sc. in Pharmacology from the University of Oxford, UK. During his doctoral research, he investigated the role of astrocytes in energy homeostasis and obesity, and developed novel methods for primary astrocyte culture. His work has been published in leading scientific journals, including Frontiers and Neuropsychopharmacology. Following his Ph.D., Sherif conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bern, Switzerland, focusing on innovative therapeutic approaches for multiple sclerosis. His expertise spans neuroscience, pharmacology, and longevity biotechnology, and he has served as both a research scientist and CEO of multiple companies developing therapeutics for age-related conditions.

Usually, there are no general prerequisites when enrolling for any individual courses on cbehx.co.uk. However, some courses are certainly more advanced than others that are of introductory and intermediate level. For advanced-level courses, prior knowledge on the topic will be helpful for understanding complex concepts but not mandatory.

The relevant information about the suggested knowledge and background that might be helpful to follow each course is provided on the respective course registration page.

Yes, the courses are flexible and self-paced to suit your schedule. The term “self-paced” implies that the courses do not follow a pre-assigned schedule for learning within the course duration. You will be able to access all the course materials for each course that you have enrolled in as soon as the course begins.
