The first tranche of top speakers has been announced for the new SelectScience® Virtual Neuroscience Summit, launching on November 17, 2020.

From the latest techniques in neuroscience research to neurological disease, neurodegeneration, analytical neurochemistry and more, the free-to-attend Virtual Summit will offer an interactive forum for scientists and scientific manufacturers to connect and share knowledge and solutions at this critical time.

The event will be promoted to around 400k+ scientists and lab directors globally and feature presentations by leading neuroscientists and technology providers, live Q&As, virtual booths and resource hubs, networking sessions, 1-on-1 chat facilities and more.

Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Kerry Parker, said: “We are hosting this Virtual Summit to support the industry and ensure communication and collaboration continues to flourish at this challenging time."

Headline topics will include understanding pain, memory and emergent behaviors, 3D brain modeling, Alzheimer’s disease, the latest imaging technology for neuroscience and more. We are delighted to announce our first confirmed speakers, with more being announced shortly.

  • Keynote speaker: Prof. Jonathan Sweedler, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
  • Keynote speaker: Dr. Omer Bayraktar, Wellcome Sanger Institute
  • Prof. Anastas Popratiloff, The George Washington University,
  • Dr. Min Tang-Schomer the Jackson Laboratory & Connecticut Children's Medical Center
  • Dr. Dayne Beccano-Kelly, University of Oxford
  • Dr. Shakil Awan, University of Plymouth
  • Dr. Naomi Habib, University of Jerusalem
  • Dr. Andreas Langer, NanoTemper Technologies
  • Susana Alcantara, Sartorius
  • More eminent speakers are being announced imminently

Why attend?

  • Keep up with cutting-edge research from expert speakers

  • Learn about the latest technology launches

  • Ask the experts - live Q&As with manufacturers and scientists

  • Collect a ‘swag bag’ of application notes, posters, technical papers and more

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. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :In Vivo Imaging Systems<i>In vivo</i> imaging systems, including pre-clinical imaging systems and medical imaging systems are used to non-invasively visualize and capture images of live animals and plants. Monitor the natural processes or diseases of your subjects using small-animal pre-clinical imaging systems, including single photon positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (micro-CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imagers. Multimodal systems and software solutions are also available for correlative analysis of organ, tissue, cell, or molecular-level processes. Find the best in vivo imaging products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.NeuroscienceNeuroscience research investigates the neurological mechanisms underlying behavior, neurodegenerative diseases, and other brain conditions. Learn about the innovative technologies for bioimaging, electrophysiology, cell culture, chromatography and other techniques used in this field.NeurobiologyNeurobiology studies the biology of the nervous system, including the structure and function of neurons, glial cells, and their interactions. It is a key field in understanding neurological disorders such as Alzheimer�s, Parkinson�s, and schizophrenia. Research in neurobiology is essential for developing therapies for these conditions. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best neurobiology research tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.SelectScience Company News
