Description
The objective of this course is the presentation of different multiplication methods (cloning) of embryos and gametes, taking as an experimental model different mammalian species.
However, it considers the possible reproductive and therapeutic applications that the different cloning methodologies may derive in the human species. It introduces two main multiplication methodologies that may imply or not genome reprograming.
Skills
Learning outcomes expected to be acquired by the student at the end of the course:
1. Apply the embryo multiplication procedure without reprogramming, assessing the choice of study, techniques, its drawbacks and limitations.
2. Define the nuclear transplantation procedure and its application in the cloning of totally or partially differentiated cells.
3. Apply the mechanisms of dedifferentiation and reprogramming, studying the MII oocyte as an environment of excellence in cell reprogramming.
4. Evaluate the fundamentals and implications of different technologies for embryo multiplication, somatic cloning and gamete multiplication, acquiring critical capacity for the evaluation of scientific documents or social dissemination in the field of cloning.
Students info
Important information:
The online course will be carried out through the e-learning platform: IVIRMA Campus. The student will receive a message with the access information and credentials 24/48 hours before the start of the course.
To successfully complete the training and obtain the corresponding certificate, the student must obtain a percentage greater than or equal to 70% of correct answers in the final evaluation. To do this, you will have two opportunities to take the exam.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Once the course has started, enrollment cancellation will not be possible, and no refunds will be issued under any circumstances.
Theoretical-practical courses are designed as an indivisible training unit; therefore, no refunds will be granted once the course has begun, even if the practical component has not yet started.
Course Completion
A course will only be considered successfully completed when the student has fully completed the entire program. If the course includes a practical component, it will not be deemed completed unless that component has been fully carried out.
No certificate of completion or attendance will be issued if the student has not completed all the activities included in the course program. Under no circumstances will certificates be issued for partial completion of either the theoretical or practical parts of the course.
