The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has updated its stem cell research and regenerative medicine guidelines. According to their website, the “The 2021 guidelines include new recommendations to address the recent scientific advances involving embryos, stem cell-based embryo models, chimeras, organoids, and genome editing.” These recommendations resulted from 18 months of deliberations by a task force of experts including scientists, clinicians, ethicists, lawyers and policy specialists.
CITI Program’s Stem Cell Research Module Updates
CITI Program’s Human Subjects Research Stem Cell Oversight modules parts I & II (ID: 13882 and 14584) were updated to reflect current thinking on the topics, including clinical applications of stem cell technologies and the revised ISSCR guidelines. If these modules are in your learners’ gradebooks, no action is required by you – the revised modules are available now. Contact CITI Support with any questions.
