In this week’s feature, we are focusing on webinars that may especially interest those working in the field of life sciences. If you wish to empower your research, you won't want to miss these life science webinars over the next few weeks. In addition, we also highlight some of our top on-demand webinars, ensuring that you don’t miss out on these free learning opportunities.

Explore an image analysis pipeline used to study whole tissue pancreata samples, discover an automated method for preparing proteomics samples, and learn about B cell repertoire in determining responses to checkpoint blockade in NSCLC. Plus, discover how miniaturized liquid handling facilitates proteomic profiling, and find out how Leprechaun can reveal the secrets of your lentivirus.

Spatial analysis and high-plex immunofluorescence to study human pancreata in type 1 diabetes

Spatial analysis and high-plex immunofluorescence to study human pancreata in type 1 diabetes

In this webinar, Dr. Quesada-Masachs will explain the image analysis pipeline that she has developed and applied to study whole tissue pancreatic samples of donors with type 1 diabetes. Those samples were previously stained and acquired with the high-plex Orion™ platform. New methods for spatial image analysis are providing a better understanding of local processes occurring in many human diseases, revolutionizing those scientific fields.

Automated proteomics sample prep: Realizing the need for higher throughput, robustness, and standardization

Automated proteomics sample prep: Realizing the need for higher throughput, robustness, and standardization

The lack of standardization and throughput in proteomics sample preparation has caused limitations within the field. According to published reports, sample preparation traditionally accounted for 75% of the overall variability. In this webinar, Dr. John P. Wilson, Ph.D. and Dr. John D. Laycock, Ph.D., will share how to use the small-footprint A200 and S-Trap™ 96-well plates to quickly and easily prepare samples for proteomics analysis without further method development.

B Cell Repertoire in Determining Responses to Checkpoint Blockade in NSCLC

B Cell Repertoire in Determining Responses to Checkpoint Blockade in NSCLC

Immune-related adverse events following checkpoint blockade are the Achilles heel of this revolutionary treatment paradigm in cancer. This poses not only a significant healthcare burden in terms of increased morbidity and mortality to our patients, but also a huge financial and socioeconomic burden. Elucidating the mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon is of key importance to be able to stratify patients at risk of toxicity and improve long-term treatment outcomes. In this webinar, discover the mechanisms of immunotherapy, understand the burden and incidence of immune-related adverse events, review biological mechanisms, and explore biomarker research.

Leprechaun leads you to lentivirus gold

Leprechaun leads you to lentivirus gold

Monitoring lentivirus titer, structural stability and non-viral contaminants throughout production is critical to generating the highest yield and highest purity drug product. Join this webinar to see how Leprechaun can reveal the secrets of your lentivirus. We’ll walk through how Leprechaun’s Luni consumable stops soluble p24 from interfering with titer, gives you confidence you’re only counting what you care about, and monitors non-viral contaminants with ease.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation.
