Mammary Cell Training Course

Focused on the in vitro propagation and characterization of primary mammary epithelial cells, this hands-on training course from STEMCELL Technologies combines lecture modules with bench sessions covering tissue dissociation, mammosphere formation assays, 3D organoid establishment, and feeder-free monolayer maintenance using specialized media such as MammoCult. Over multiple intensive days, trainees practice hormone-stimulation protocols, mycoplasma screening workflows, and cryopreservation of passaged cultures at storage temperatures around -80 °C in a single-use cryovial format. Each cohort receives printed protocols, reagent aliquots for the practical, and a certificate of completion following the final assessment. Content is delivered by application scientists supporting researchers across academic and biopharma settings, with material mapped to common downstream applications including co-culture, branching morphogenesis studies, and cancer cell line authentication.
