Advancing Vascular Research: Successful hiPSC Workshop at LUMC

On December 1st and 2nd, Valeria Orlova’s team, along with the Leiden hiPSC Center and the Leiden OoC facility, successfully held their first workshop on hiPSC-based vascular in vitro modeling at LUMC. The course consisted of a combination of expert lectures and hands-on time in our training laboratories.

During the hands-on sessions the 10 participants from The Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland and the United States learned how to purify hiPSC-derived endothelial cells and seeded hiPSC-derived endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells onto microfluidic chips. The course was very well received. Statements of participants included: “The workshop was fantastic” and “I would recommend this course to anyone working with hiPSCs”. We look forward to organizing similar workshops in the future!

The course was kindly supported by ThermoFisher, AIM Biotech, reNEW, hDMT INFRA and the LymphChip Consortium.
