Leica Microsystems and Microscopy & Analysis have organized a free web-
seminar in September that may be of interest to you:
Laser microdissection - Dissection perfection
Date: 24th September 2014
Time: 11am U.S. Eastern Time
Duration: 60 minutes
http://tinyurl.com/microdissectionFeatured Speakers:
Dr Niccola Funel
Principal Investigator
Department of Surgical Pathology, University of Pisa
Dr Christian Lobsiger
Team Member
Brain and Spinal Cord Institute, Salpetriere Hospital
Two rich scientific presentations will discuss (1) how it was possible to
isolate epithelial cell populations from primary cultures derived from
pancreatic adenocarcinoma and then evaluate gene expression of critical
determinants of anticancer drug efficacy and predict different likelihood to
respond to treatment. And (2) how laser-microdissection (LMD) assisted
RNA profiling to isolate micro-regions, as well as neuronal or glial enriched
pools, to identify candidate pathways that have the potential to modulate
the ongoing neurodegenerative processes and slow disease.
This webinar features:
- practical advantages of this technique for a precise and contamination-
free isolation and selection of single cells from brain sections for RNA
downstream analysis and afterwards on cloning live cells from cultures for
further cultivation and analysis
- a live question and answer session
