Cell culture technology: Recent advances, future prospects - 5th Annual event

 
  November 24, 2011  
     
 
The Penridge Suite , London
Friday, 09 March 2012


In the last 4 decades mammalian cell culture has matured from being merely a research tool into being one of the foundations of the biopharmaceutical industry, and its use is continuing to expand rapidly. In vitro models are replacing animals in many tests and assays; its enormous potential in the fields of stem cell and regenerative medicine has hardly started to be realized; and its utility in research grows ever faster".

 

Meeting Chair:  Dr John Davis, Chairman of the UK Branch of the European Society for Animal Cell Technology.

This conference will examine some of the latest applications of cell culture technology, some that are still “over the horizon”, and some of the problems that must be solved before it can reach its full potential.

This event  has CPD accreditation and will have a  troubleshooting panel session.

 

On registration you will be able to submit your questions to the panel that will be asked by the chair on the day of the event

10:30 – 11:00      A discussion of the systems used to measure autophagy in vitro

Katy Petherick,  University of Bristol, UK

                Autophagy is a rapidly growing field of research. Methods to analyse autophagy are constantly advancing. The complexity of the process makes it important to have accurate readouts of autophagic activity. This talk will discuss a range of methods for measuring autophagy and important points to consider when using these techniques.
