hESC Required Tutorial and Test

All faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars, and students, as well as visiting scholars and researchers, are required to complete hESC training before they begin work on any project involving human embryonic stem cells.  This training is tracked through the Stanford Training and Registration System (STARS). To receive credit for this class you must register and launch this class through STARS.

Required Steps:

1. Register for required training in STARS (Follow along with a PDF Copy)
2. Review the training (Trouble launching training? Check our Web Hints)
3. Launch the required test (this must be completed by anyone planning to perform hESC research before the research can start!)
