8th Cell Based Assay & Screening Technologies Conference

Conference - San Francisco, CA, United States

Over the past years, the field of assay technologies, laboratory automation, and informatics has taken great leaps forward. Present demands from the drug discovery process have propelled a shift in focus from high throughput screening to high content analysis, and there is a greater push for using iPS stem cells combined with 3D cell culture technologies for more physiologically relevant screen models. These developments have raised questions such as, what is the best model for screening for cell based assays? What is the payback of physiologically relevant systems?

Join us as we discuss these questions and explore how the field will move forward into the future. This meeting will connect industry leaders from major pharmaceutical companies, cutting-edge biotech companies and top researchers from academia and government to present innovative and relevant applications of current assay technologies to continually improve efficacy and meaningful data output and discuss the potential of novel analytical and screening technologies in drug discovery and development.

This year’s sessions include:

High Content & Image-Based Screening

Innovations in Phenotypic Screening

Advances in Functional Genomics & Screening

Stem Cells & iPS Cells

 

3D Cell Cultures & Physiologically Relevant Model Systems
