This course is composed from 4 modules. First, the course will consist of two general lectures on signaling to provide background and one basic lecture on mathematical modeling of development (module 1). Then, there will be 6 lectures on stem cell and regeneration topics (module 2). Third, an organ module, with 9 lectures (module 3). Following this module will be a final module on preparation of an CIHR- or NSERC-style mini-grant (module 4). Classes will be held three times a week (1 hour per lecture). On the first six weeks there will be an introduction to the correlated topics and on the remaining classes students will participate in presentations and group discussions on topics related to the course. On the second six weeks students will work including on their proposals.
