1-Week Hands-on Workshop on Human/Cancer Cell Culture Techniques & MTT Assay
Organisers: Prof. Dr. Sheo Mohan Singh, Director, International Centre for Stem Cells, Cancer and Biotechnology (ICSCCB)
Dates: March 9th – 15th and April 6th-12th 2014
Location: ICSCCB, Pune, India
Website: http://icsccb.org/workshops/cellcultureworkshop/
The website gives all the necessary information on registration, programme, accommodation, fees and other important details.
Who should attend?
UG/PG/PhD students, faculty, scientists as well as people working in industry in the field of Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Sciences and related subject areas
Purpose of the workshop
There will be a series of 1-Week workshops in which practical hands-on training on the basic cell culture techniques will be provided. These include; media preparation; genomic DNA isolation, estimation and agarose gel electrophoresis; RNA extraction, cDNA preparation, PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis; protein extraction, estimation, SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining of proteins; freezing and thawing of cells; and MTT Assay for proliferation/cytotoxicity.
The workshop is aimed at beginners to teach and train them in animal cell culture and molecular techniques using human/cancer cell lines. It will be supported by some theoretical classes on basic cell culture techniques, media preparation, gene/protein expression and interaction networks in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and cancer cells.
