The BioTechniques Virtual Symposium on The Cell Landscape: From Genotype to Phenotype

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

FREE Registration and FREE iPad Giveaway

All registrants will be entered into a drawing for an iPad on the day of the event.

Symposium Overview:

The Cell Landscape: From Genotype to Phenotype will focus directly on the latest approaches being used to characterize cell function and phenotype. From the genetic mechanisms controlling basic cellular processes to understanding how protein production and interactions shape cell structure and function – this one-day symposium will highlight techniques for teasing apart the genetic, proteomic, and metabolite landscapes of the cell.

Sessions include:

• Starting Materials: Novel Approaches to Cell Sorting and Isolation
• Our Cellular Blueprint: Examining the Impact of Nucleic Acids on Cell Phenotype
• Movers & Shakers: Understanding the Role of Protein Localization and Function in Cell Biology
• Frontiers in Cell Analysis: Making Use of Lessons and Insights from the Lab
• Special Session Just Added - ENCODE: Defining the Genome

The symposium features:

• A new bonus track on Next-gen Sequencing
• Sessions on the latest advances in cell sorting, genomics, proteomics, and cell analysis
• Networking opportunities with speakers, attendees, and sponsors
• Live Q&A sessions with all presenters
• Virtual exhibit hall, poster hall, and job listings

Session 1: Starting Materials: Novel Approaches to Cell Sorting and Isolation
  Keynote: Stephen Quake, PhD. Professor of Bioengineering and Co-Chair Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University; Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute. (Next-gen)
Dr. Quake will discuss advances in cell sorting applications, with an eye on microfluidic-based cell sorting devices.
 Nancy Allbritton, MD., PhD. Debreczeny Distinguished Professor and Chair of University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University Department of Biomedical Engineering; Director, Curriculum of Applied Science and Engineering.
Dr. Allbritton will discuss her work on the selection and sorting of viable cells using cell-lethal assays on microarrays.
 Bart Smits, PhD. Assistant Scientist, University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Dr. Smits will discuss his recent work employing multi-color flow cytometry to phenotype cancer cells and identify breast cancer susceptibility genes.
Session 2: Our Cellular Blueprint: Examining the Impact of Nucleic Acids on Cell Phenotype
  Keynote: Daniel Larson, PhD. Head, Systems Biology of Gene Expression, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Larson will detail his work on the regulation and function of RNA in cells using multiphoton microscopy and RNA visualization and the effect on cellular phenotype.
 Richard Cotton, PhD, D.Sci. Director, Genomics Research Centre, Melbourne, Australia; Scientific Director of the Human Variome Project. (Next-gen)
Dr. Cotton will introduce and describe the efforts of the Human Variome project; an international initiative to catalogue human genetic variation (CNV, SNP).
 Piero Carninci, PhD. Leader of the Functional Genomics Technology Team, Leader of the Omics Resource Development Unit and Deputy Project Director of the LSA Technology Development Group - LSA Technology Development Group, Riken Omics Science Center, Japan. (Next-gen)
Dr. Carninci will discuss the latest developments in sequencing and applications in the analysis of transcription in single or small numbers of cells.
Session 3: Movers & Shakers: Understanding the Role of Protein Localization and Function in Cell Biology
 Special Keynote Address: David Klug, PhD. Professor of Chemical Biophysics, Co-founder and Chair of the Institute of Chemical Biology, Imperial College, London.
Dr. Klug will discuss his leadership of the Single Cell Proteomics Project and his research efforts into single cell proteomics.
Session 4: Frontiers in Cell Analysis: Making Use of Lessons and Insights from the Lab
  Keynote: Gary Siuzdak, PhD. Senior Director Center for Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry; Professor Chemistry and Molecular Biology, The Scripps Research Institute.
Dr. Siuzdak will describe his latest research into the field of metabolomics using mass spectrometry approaches.
 Mark Adams, PhD. Scientific Director, J. Craig Venter Institute. (Next-gen)
Dr. Adams will detail his involvement in the human microbiome project and the impact next-generation sequencing and single cell analysis are having on metagenomics projects.
 Joseph Wu, MD, PhD. Associate Professor, Stanford University Medical School.
Dr. Wu will describe various molecular imaging approaches to track adult and embryonic stem cells.
 Special Workshop on ENCODE: Defining the Genome
Recently, the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) consortium published a series of articles detailing the mapping and analysis of over 4 million regulatory regions in the human genome. Learn more about this massive effort, and how the results are shaping our understanding of the human genome, in this late-breaking workshop.
