If you can’t make it 15 minutes early, still please attend. Once their identity is verified they will be allowed into the meeting. After login, participants will enter a waiting room. Participants are asked to login 15 minutes early. Zoom information will be sent the morning of the training for all registered participants. This training is ideal for anyone who handles personal data, IT professionals, managers, researchers, or any students, faculty, or staff who want to learn how to protect their own data. Other topics to be discussed include recently-enacted privacy laws and how UC San Diego handles personal data, including data about applicants, faculty and staff, research participants, alumni, online leaders, public databases, etc. The Privacy 101 Workshop will focus on privacy issues and best methods to protect personal data. Register now! This event is open to the public and all who are interested.

The naive state is signified by an unrestricted developmental potential, whereas the primed state displays repressive chromatin features and lineage priming.Learn about privacy laws and how to best protect yourself at the Privacy 101 Online Webinar, presented by the UC San Diego Campus Privacy Office, on July 22, from 1 p.m.

The main challenge is that current human ESCs and iPSCs do not resemble the ground state “naive” pluripotent cells found in the blastocyst, but instead are more similar to “primed” precursors that arise after the embryo has implanted. However, major challenges must be overcome before human ESCs and iPSCs can be used in a realistic way in regenerative medicine.

In addition, the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provides new possibilities to model complex genetic disorders and a source of autologous cells for transplantation. Due to these unique properties, ESCs have become a versatile tool in wide-ranging biomedical applications, from disease modeling to toxicology testing to clinical trials. Research InterestsĮmbryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the ability to self-renew indefinitely while maintaining the capacity to differentiate into all cell types found in the body. Their research program is dedicated to exploring the molecular regulation of pluripotent stem cells and their applications in regenerative medicine.
