The aim of this conference is to enable detailed investigation of high throughput systems for those dedicated to using primary or stem cell sources as biologically relevant models. Whether the aim is drug target discovery, toxicology testing, or histological analysis, this event will explore advances in technology and new strategies to acheive maximum results. With the right approach, advances in automation and cell culture techniques can be utilized to access and vizualise biological events. This is a “purpose-built” event to convey information that is specific and valuable to those engaged in automated cell screening. Emphasis on imaging, including new ways to identify cellular activity, data analysis and applications will provide researchers the tools they need to progress. The majority of techniques currently employed to interrogate a biomolecular interaction require some type of radio, enzymatic or fluorescent labelling to report the binding event. However, there is an increasing awareness of novel techniques that do not require labelling of the ligand or the receptor, and that allow virtually any complex to be screened with minimal assay development. Our expert line-up of speakers will provide proof-of-concept studies for these novel technologies.
Why should you attend this event?
Unlike other HTS events which introduce a range of applications, this conference will a provide specific, in-depth evaluation of cell-based screening from industry specialists. For those familiar with the field, who want technical expertise on specific applications, this event will deliver. Topics covered include: - Label-free technologies
- Scale-up and automation of challenging cell lines
- High Content Assays
- GPCR screening
- High throughput predictive toxicology
- HTS for ADMET
