<div>The replacement of missing cells, largely mediated by the action
of stem cells, occurs naturally as an integral part of normal adult
life and in response to injury. This lecture series will
highlight topics in regenerative biology ranging from the biology of
stem cells in cell replacement to regenerative tissue
engineering.</div>

Engineer Charles Moses will conduct a course on repair of laboratory
equipment, geared toward but not limited to beginners. Equipment
will include; electrophoresis units, spectrophotometers, motors on
shakers and centrifuges, etc. General topics will also include:
assessing the tools required to disassemble, fix and reassemble a
piece of equipment; tool quality; and rational disassembly of
equipment when the function of some component is not known.
Bring broken equipment on which to practice.<br>
