Excellence in Biotechnology Training

Upcoming Biotechnology Training Workshops

WE ARE BACK IN PERSON!

All Bio-Trac Workshops are team taught by active researchers, and include hands-on laboratory and discussion groups.  All attendees receive electronic copies of all handouts, complete laboratory protocols, as well as additional reference material. Attendee Guidelines for In Person Workshops


Next Generation Sequencing Introduction: This in depth lecture and hands-on computer based laboratory workshop is ideal for those bench and research scientists who have little or no bioinformatics background and are seeking a comprehensive workshop on the bioinformatics analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data, particularly DNA-seq, RNA-seq, and ChIP-seq.

July 15-17, 2025 • Preregistration Form

3-D Cell Culturing: During this 3-D cell culturing workshop the researcher will learn how to successfully culture primary cells, cancer cells, and epithelial cells in a 3-D format using 3-D cell culture matrices, such as Collagen I.  Emphasis will be placed on setting up primary human hepatocyte spheroid and high-throughput gut-epithelium-on-a-chip cultures, visualizing their formation and growth, and performing a broad range of downstream assays.  Examples of applications in toxicology and drug efficacy will be explored.

July 23-25, 2025 • Preregistration Form

RNA-Seq: Principles, Methods & Computational Analysis: This 4-day workshop emphasizes computational laboratory experiences with a series of lectures spanning an introduction to the concepts of RNA sequencing and the analysis of the data generated to the applications of these approaches to understand critical biological and/or biomedical processes and problems. By the end of the program, attendees will have had in silico hands-on experience with RNA sample data and differences in sample integrity, a deep understanding of RNA library creation and optimization, and processing of RNA sequences from raw fastq to differential expression with the most current software using cloud computing to analyze real-world datasets from brain samples and knock-out cell lines.

This workshop can be attended in-person or via real time remote login.

August 11-14, 2025 • Preregistration Form

Flow Cytometry: This four day program is ideal for those who are looking for an in-depth, hands-on introduction to Flow Cytometry.  The instructors will focus on a broad spectrum of flow cytometric topics, discuss examples from various research applications, provide technical protocols for flow cytometric sample preparation, as well as data analysis, trouble shooting and experimental design.  Attendees will have hands-on experience on three different flow platforms (Becton Dickinson, Miltenyi, Bio-Rad and Sony) as well as exposure to four software analysis programs.

August 25-28, 2025 • Preregistration Form


Best Practices in Mammalian Cell Culture:  This three-day workshop is ideal for any researcher, biologist, technician, or individual who wants to gain a solid foundation in the successful cultivation of mammalian cells.

September 10-12, 2025 • Preregistration Form


Spatial Biology Symposium: The symposium features esteemed experts from pathology, spatial biology, multiplex immunofluorescence, artificial intelligence, and translational medicine to explore the latest advancements in the field. Focused on predictive and prognostic models, this gathering offers captivating presentations and insightful discussions.

SAVE THE DATE: September 15-16, 2025 • Preregistration Form
