Agilent Seahorse XF Technology – Measure what’s important to your cells

Using Agilent Seahorse XF Analyzers, scientists are continuing to obtain powerful functional data from live cells, in real time, gaining a greater understanding of cell metabolism. With this event we aim to provide an overview of the broad range of applications and to highlight the huge impact functional metabolism has.

Pulmonary vascular disease is a serious complication for children born with congenital heart disease (CHD) that results in increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF). In this webinar, Dr. Stephen Black will discuss the link between the disruption of ß-oxidation and mitochondrial function in the development of pulmonary endothelial dysfunction.

Tune in to learn more about:

• The importance of metabolic reprogramming in the development of pulmonary vascular disease
• The key initiating role of TGF-ß1 in this process
• How Agilent Seahorse XF kits have provided insights into the mechanisms of metabolic reprogramming

Speaker:
Stephen M. Black, PhD
Professor of Medicine & Physiology at the University of Arizona, United States

Cell sorting is used to separate cells according to their cell size, shape and surface protein expression. Classically used after single cell studies to validate biomarkers expressed on specific cell populations or to verify the existence of a newly identified rare cell population, cell sorting can also be integrated into multiomic workflows for single cell sequencing studies. 
 
During this webinar we’ll discuss how using cell sorting upstream of single cell RNA sequencing enables you to sensitively and efficiently identify and characterize immune cell interactions. Highlighting a study using cell sorting to identify a small fraction of CD8+ T cells bound to peptide-MHCs, we’ll explore how characterizing only these T cells cells of interest increased the potential to detect rare T cell types and reduced sequencing costs by eliminating the need to sequence all species present in the original sample.
 
Learning Objectives:

• Leverage single cell sequencing techniques for multiomic immune profiling analysis
• View and interpret select single cell sequencing data
• Optimize sample preparation and cell sorting for generating quality single cell data

Ciloa focus on the production of membrane proteins derived from extracellular vesicles for the purpose of developing novel drugs, therapeutic monoclonals, vaccines and, novel anti-infective preventative vaccines.   

Prior to running Ciloa as CEO, Dr Mamoun was a Director at the CNRS/Montpellier University, focusing on antibody and vaccine development. Dr Mamoun also served as the Director of Research at INSERM and was responsible for technology transfer. Prior to this, Dr Mamoun had an extensive career covering various different roles at INSERM focusing on exosomes and a wide variety of virology research themes.

Immune Activation, Effector Functions and Immune Tolerance with a special focus on Autoimmunity and Allergy

As ever, immune regulation is the hottest issue in basic and clinical sciences. There is no doubt that we need to get together and share our new findings in an inspiring environment. With an outstanding list of speakers in this field, WIRM will be one of the key scientific event of the year 2020, being big enough to learn from other disciplines and small enough to personally meet the experts.

Simply stop by at our booth, we will be happy to discuss your specific requirements!

It is our pleasure to invite you to the Symposium on Lab Automation, where presentations are given by and for experts in the field of automation and instrumentation in the medical and life science sector. 

Visit us at our booth! We will be happy to discuss your specific applications!

This half-day MIC event gives a selection of research examples executed at microscopes and presented by young colleagues being specialists in a specific method and/or instrument. We aim to interconnect researchers already applying microscopy with other researchers that might want to use the same instrument or a similar technique with another microscope. Please schedule additional time after the talks to stay for individual discussions and having the MIC Apéro together.
