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.
October 16-18, 2024 • Preregistration Form
Spatial Transcriptomics Workshop: From Sample Preparation to Data Analysis: This one-day workshop is designed for research scientists who are new spatial users. This lecture and hands-on in silico laboratory workshop will provide foundational information to succeed when starting experiments; from sample preparation to data analysis, as well as provide familiarity with available assays, analysis tools, and how to work with your Single Cell or Bioinformatics core to get the desired results.
October 28, 2024 • Preregistration Form
Gene Editing with CRISPR: This rigorous three day program is ideal for basic research and translational biology scientists who are looking for a balanced theoretical vs. hands-on introduction to CRISPR toolkit. Taught by active researchers, this workshop features several cutting-edge presentations delivered by experts in the CRISPR/Cas9 field along with an intensive schedule of laboratory exercises.
