We are excited to showcase our wide range of microscopy workflow solutions at ASCB Cell Bio 2024. Visit us in booth #332 to speak to our technical experts about our demos and presentations and to learn about the latest technologies in one of our tech talks.
Tailoring electroporation for non-viral gene delivery applications
Saturday, December 14, 10:15 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Meeting Room 22
Learn about the factors that influence the success of electroporation gene delivery and methods for rapid optimization. Using examples from different applications and cell types, we’ll highlight approaches to customizing electroporation program parameters and payload types and discuss how to choose the right electroporation buffer. Key takeaways include understanding the fundamentals of electroporation optimization and how to apply them to diverse gene delivery applications.
Enhanced culture of primary cells on the Nunclon Supra Tissue Culture Surface
Saturday, December 14, 1:15 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Meeting Room 22
Efficiently culturing primary cells remains a challenge for many researchers. To address this issue, the Nunclon Supra Cell Culture Surface was developed to improve adherent cell culture workflows. In this talk, we’ll display the enhanced growth of endothelial, fibroblast, and smooth muscle primary cells when cultured on the Nunclon Supra Surface compared to existing tissue culture-treated surfaces. We’ll also demonstrate the ability for human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), which typically require culture with serum or extracellular matrix coating, to be cultured both serum-free and coating-free on the Nunclon Supra Surface.
Advances in PSC workflows to build better models and therapies
Monday, December 16, 11:15 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Meeting Room 22
This seminar will highlight innovations in stem cell workflows, including 2D and 3D applications, involving stem cell culture, characterization, and the downstream differentiation needed to generate 3D stem cell-based disease models. Examples will include how stem cell researchers can leverage novel protocols and reagents to build relevant three-dimensional neural, cardia, and hemopoietic-derived organoid models.
Making a Mitochondrial 3D Structural Database
Monday, December 16, 1:15 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Meeting Room 21
In this session, Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr., Ph.D., from Vanderbilt University will discuss how his lab is using a combination of techniques, including transmission electron microscopy and serial block face scanning electron microscopy, to investigate how the three-dimensional structure of mitochondria is linked to disease and how individualized medical techniques and regenerative medicine could target mitochondria structure. In particular, he will discuss how the team used Thermo Scientific Amira Software to aggregate and standardize data, which helped them streamline analysis and modelling of organelle contacts at the systems level.
We are excited to provide live demonstrations of Thermo Scientific Amira Software during ASCB. If you would like to arrange a demo, please complete the registration form and our team will be in touch with you shortly.
