Maxcyte Seminar 5/25/23

Join us for a seminar to learn about Maxcytes’ ExPERT family of electroporation instruments.

Generating novel and efficacious therapies depends on a
strong technology platform to bring your ideas from bench to
bedside. The ExPERT™ family of electroporation instruments
can change the game in drug discovery, cell & gene therapy and
bioprocessing. We look forward to speaking with you about how
MaxCyte can help streamline your processes.

NU-HTA User Spotlight: ‘Repurposing Chemotherapies Against Meningiomas’ with Craig Horbinski, MD, PhD

Join us for the next NU-HTA User Spotlight Seminar, ‘Repurposing Chemotherapies Against Meningiomas’ with Craig Horbinski, MD, PhD, Professor of Pathology and Director of Neuropathology in the Department of Pathology in the Feinberg School of Medicine.

Using patient-derived meningioma cells, Horbinski and team screened a large panel of FDA-approved chemotherapies to identify candidates for repurposing against meningioma, tumors that arises from the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Note – This program was originally scheduled to take place in-person and online. Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, the program will switch to 100% online.

10X Genomics seminar

Reveal the Full Complexity of Cellular Diversity, Cell by Cell

 Dissecting cell-type differences in complex biological systems is critical to our understanding of cellular contributions during development and in disease progression. Until recently, most molecular studies have relied on bulk analysis, combining all cells into a single average readout. The Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression Solution provides an unparalleled approach to uncover cell-to-cell gene expression variability and identify rare cell types from complex biological samples
