The Next Generation of Cell Analysis: Gaining Insight With Cytometry The presentation will begin March 24, 2010 12 p.m. U.S. Eastern, 9 a.m. U.S. Pacific, 4 p.m. GMT Brought to you by the Science/AAAS Business Office     Real Player   Real Media Video (56k/150k)   Windows Media Player   Windows Media Video (56k/150k)     The next generation of cell analysis tools provides scientists with the ability to easily collect cell-by-cell statistics, rapidly differentiate between cell subpopulations, and derive information about the physical, chemical, and molecular nature of each individual cell. Continuous and accurate monitoring of thousands of cells can now be accomplished, allowing for the application of this technology to the measurement of dynamic ion concentration, intracellular pH, transfection efficiency, and RNAi knockdown efficacy. Recent improvements in flow cytometer technology providing simplified user interfaces, rapid analysis, and more accurate results are removing the barriers of cost, size, and complexity, making the next generation discovery phase in cell analysis feasible. This webinar will: Bring together cellular and molecular biology experts to share their knowledge of cutting-edge cell analysis techniques Highlight the latest cytometry technologies available to research scientists Focus on new applications for flow cytometry devices Allow viewers to ask questions of the live panel   Speakers: Dr. Albert D. Donnenberg University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA Dr. Albert Donnenberg graduated with a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Colorado in 1973. Following the granting of his Ph.D. in infectious disease epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health in 1980, Dr. Donnenberg resided as a Research Fellow in oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine until 1982. Prior to arriving at the University of Pittsburgh in 1991, Dr. Donnenberg was an adjunct associate professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health and an Associate Professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Donnenberg is currently a Professor of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, director of University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute's (UPCI) flow cytometry facility, and Director of UPCI Hematopoietic Stem Cell Processing Laboratory. Dr. Donnenberg has been featured in more than 150 publications and is the recipient of multiple awards for his research efforts at the university. Among his honors are his induction into the Delta Omega Honorary Public Health Society and his receipt of a Carter-Wallace Fellowship for AIDS Research. Currently, Dr. Donnenberg and his research team are primarily focused on the analysis of multiparameter cytometry, cancer cell biology, and regenerative medicine. Dr. William G. Telford National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD Dr. Bill Telford received his Ph.D. in microbiology from Michigan State University in 1994, where his laboratory developed some of the earliest techniques for flow cytometric detection of apoptosis. He received his postdoctoral training in immunology at The University of Michigan Medical School, and was appointed assistant scientist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City from 1997 to 1999. Dr. Telford became a staff scientist at the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health in 1999, and is currently the director of the flow cytometry core laboratory in the NCI Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Branch. Dr. Telford’s main research interests include: instrument development, particularly in the area of novel solid state laser integration into flow cytometers; flow cytometric stem cell detection and characterization; and functional characterization of early apoptosis by flow and image cytometry. Dr. John P. Nolan La Jolla Bioengineering Institute La Jolla, CA Dr. John Nolan received B.S. degrees in biology and chemistry at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from The Pennsylvania State University. After a postdoctoral position at the National Flow Cytometry Resource (NFCR), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), he was promoted to the technical staff at LANL. There his lab pioneered quantitative and multiplexed flow cytometry approaches for analysis of molecular assemblies involved in catalysis, signaling, and pathogenesis, and for high throughput genomic analysis. He served as a co-investigator of the NFCR, 1996-2001, and principal investigator and director, 2001-2004. In 2004, he moved to the La Jolla Bioengineering Institute, where his lab develops instrumentation and reagents for quantitative and highly multiplexed cell and molecular analysis. His lab recently developed the first Raman flow cytometers, as well as technologies for the rapid and high resolution analysis of individual nanoparticles. Dr. Nolan serves on the editorial boards of Cytometry and Current Protocols in Cytometry, among others, and is an elected Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering.   Moderator: Sean Sanders, Ph.D., Commercial Editor, Science/AAAS Sean Sanders did his undergraduate training at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, UK, supported by the Wellcome Trust. Following postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health and Georgetown University, Dr. Sanders joined TranXenoGen, a startup biotechnology company in Massachusetts working on avian transgenics. Pursuing his parallel passion for writing and editing, Dr. Sanders joined BioTechniques as an editor, before joining Science/AAAS in 2006. Currently Dr. Sanders is the Worldwide Commercial Editor for the journal Science and Program Director for Outreach.   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________   For the best experience we recommend you use Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) or higher on a Windows-based PC to view this webinar.
