SMi's Cell-Based Assays conference is now in its 3rd year - click here to view our 2010 event
2009 Past Event Details:
Cell-based assays have developed into a rapid and cost-effective way of determining the challenges and issues in drug design and development.
Following on from the success of the inaugural event, the SMi Group will bring together the leading experts and professionals for their 2nd annual event on Cell-Based Assays, to discuss the most topical and relevant issues in this sector.
This year’s conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to gain a fresh insight into the various aspects of cell-based assays. With the aim of addressing topics from High Throughput and High Content screening to the use of 3D cell cultures, this event will cater for a breadth of people. With progressions and new developments in this exciting area of research, this event is a staple requirement for anyone looking to broaden their perspective and network with leading individuals in the field of cell-based assays. Particular focus with be placed on the developments in label free technologies and GPCR drug targetting.
