SBS to Launch New Virtual Course: Cell-Based Assays for Drug Discovery

New Ideas Come From Learning! 

SBS is getting ready to launch its next virtual course, Cell-Based Assays for Drug Discovery.  The course will run in 5 modules on consecutive Tuesdays beginning September 30, 2008, as follows:

September 30: Module 1 Cells: Things to Remember; Presented by Tom Kost, GlaxoSmithKline

October 7: Module 2 Cells as Reagents; Presented by Laurie Overton, GlaxoSmithKline

October 14: Module 3 Developing Cell-Based Assays for GPCRs and Ion Channels; Presented by Eric Johnson, Merck & Co, Inc and Laszlo Kiss, Merck & Co, Inc

October 21: Module 4 Cell-Based Assays for Pathway Analysis; Presented by Thomas Machleidt, Invitrogen

October 28: Module 5 Cell-Based Assays for Target Validation; Presented by  Eberhart Kraus, Tibotec

This online course will be useful to scientists new to the field and to those looking for updates in the following areas:  making cell-based assay reagents; screening assays- secondary cell-based assays, profiling, HTS, ADME; GPCR, ion channel, and signal transduction assays; target discovery.  The course is also useful for science professional utilizing cell-based assays for apoptosis, drug development, high-content screening assays, stem cell or human primary cell research and toxicology or simply looking to update their assay development skills.

Each module will begin at 11:00 AM EST (North America) and run approximately 90 to 120 minutes.
