Overview
With the ever-increasing demand for improved productivity in research
through the generation of robust analysis outputs has driven both the
development and deployment of phenotypic cell-based approaches to drug
discovery. In contrast to the more traditional cellular analysis and
target-based approaches, here the researcher is able to evaluate the
efficacy of potential therapeutics by monitoring the physiological state
of cells through the simultaneous analysis of multiple cellular
parameters in the context of an intact biological system. This course
will cover the key features of the latest imaging technologies and the
best approaches to using these technologies for phenotypic cell-based
screening. As part of this course we will also cover the some of the
latest approaches to 3D cell culture, lab on a chip and the analytical
and methodological challenges these new methods represent to the
researcher.
Who should attend?
Any scientist using or considering the use embarking upon projects
involving phenotypic screening or implementing advanced imaging and
associated cell based assay technologies will benefit from attending
this course.
Course Components (9.00 am to 3.30 pm)
- An overview of the main application areas of phenotypic assay and cell culture technologies.
- An appraisal of the key technologies currently being utilized in this area of research
- Presentation of research data from a few selected studies using both 2d functional and 3D assay technologies
- Hands on demo showing demonstrating advanced analysis techniques
- Q & A and Group Discussion
Lab Visit & Live Demo (3.30 pm to 5.30 pm) A
Lab visit and Live Demo has been arranged for the course participants
at advanced high content and high throughput screening facility of
C-CAMP. The visit will include a live demo of both the high end
platforms.
