Courses on Animal Cell Technology and Stem Cell Technology by ESACT
The European Society for Animal Cell Technology offers in 2011 two introductory courses. From September 29th to October 2nd, 2011, the course "Stem Cells - from generation to application" offers an overview of the field, from the basic aspects to the final application. "Animal Cell Technology" is the subject of a second course from October 3d -6th, 2011.
Both courses adress those starting their research activity in the field, both from academia or companies. They are also of interest for those wishing an update of the state-of-the-art of Animal Cell Technology and Stem Cell Technology respectively..
Both courses take place in Llafranch (Costa Brava/Spain) and are planned in an intensive four-day schedule including lectures and a study case.
Stem Cell - From Generation to Application
Topics to be presented and discussed include
* Generation of iPS cells
* De-differentiation, differentiation and trans-differentiation
* Isolation of murine and human stem and precursor cells
* Properties and quality of cells
* Cultivation – small and large scale
* Bioreactors
* Regulatory aspects, GMP
* Patenting, business and career options
* Application areas: Human treatment and pharmacology
Animal Cell Technology Course
The following topics will be covered:
* Cell line development. Transfection. Plasmids. Cell selection. Immortalization.
* Cellular mechanisms. Metabolism. Cell growth and death. Media development.
* Post-traslational modifications. Biological activity of products.
* Bioreactors. Fudamentals for design. Agitation. Aeration. Type of bioreactors.
* Downstream processing. Separation and purification technologies
* Single use equipment. Scale-up. Scale-down.
* Enabling technologies. Genomics, proteomics.
* In-process analytical technology
* Integrated bioprocess analysis and design. Economy aspects. Optimization. Quality.
Registration for both courses is possible until September 6th, 2011.
Both courses are organized by the European Society of Animal Cell Technology (ESACT). DECHEMA is supporting both courses.
