Developments in cell culture technology to enhance cell growth in vitro

May 2, 2008 - May 2, 2008,
BioPark Hertfordshire, Broadwater Road, Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom

Culturing mammalian cells in the laboratory enables biotechnologists to investigate the activity of cells, model and evaluate biological pathways, test drugs and allow the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Such technology is used worldwide in academic institutions and in the healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, the use of cell culture techniques are predicted to increase as biotechnologists look to develop new ways of using cells in the laboratory and reduce the numbers of animals used in research. Accordingly, the market potential for cell culture technology is enormous and is recognized as a billion dollar industry (Global Industry Analysts Report, 2006).

Cell cultures are used for a broad variety of applications and such technology has given rise to many important findings over the years. However, it must be recognised that when cells are grown outside the body they are exposed to different environmental pressures that influence their structure and ability to function.

Recreation of the in vivo environment in a Petri dish, multi-well plate or culture flask is therefore critical to ensure that cultured cells behave in a manner representative of their counterparts in vivo.

The purpose of this meeting is to review some of the new enabling technologies available to help overcome some of the limitations of cell culture. This includes the development of new products and protocols to improve the technique of growing cells in the tissue culture laboratory.

Dr Stefan Przyborski, Reader in Stem Cell Biology, Durham University and Director and Chief Scientific Officer of ReInnervate Limited (Meeting Chair)

2nd Annual Conference on Understanding Interventions that Encourage Minorities to Pursue Research Careers

May 2, 2008 - May 4, 2008,
Atlanta Hilton Atlanta, Georgia United States

The National Academies of Sciences sponsored workshop titled "Understanding Interventions that Encourage Minorities to Pursue Research Careers: Major questions and Appropriate Methods" was held at the AAAS on May 3-4 2007. The report of the workshop is available at The National Academies website. A proposed outcome was the establishment of an Interdisciplinary Community of Scholars focused on the issues of applying hypothesis based inquiry to interventions aimed at increasing diversity in research related fields. One major component of growing and mainting this community is an annual meeting where individuals conducting research in this area can present their work, interact with colleagues including those planning and implementing programs aimed at broadening participation in research careers.
