RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool that can regulate the expression of genes through double stranded RNA (dsRNA). This methodology of gene expression is sequence-specific as the dsRNA silences the corresponding endogenous messenger RNA (mRNA). Although the technique was first discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans, its utilization has been applied to a wide range of organisms. More importantly, RNAi can be readily performed with cells in culture using various mechanisms to understand the function of specific genes. We will present several common mechanisms typically used for the study or RNAi with cells in culture and highlight important factors to consider to achieve maximum results.

What Attendees Had to Say About Past Webinars
|
"We are not getting information like this from anywhere. The seminar was amazing, very useful to my work. Thanks for organizing these sessions."
"Great tips! I'll pass along information I learned here to my colleagues to let them know how we should conduct cell culture properly. Many thanks indeed again."

"I use your seminars as training for new employees and estimate they save my company more than $24,000 a year in training costs."
"I have been doing cell culture for 20+ years, and found the presentation informative and thought provoking. One can never learn enough about cell culture as it is an evolving art/science."

Our newest co-sponsor, The Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) was originally founded in 1946 as the Tissue Culture Association to foster exchange of knowledge of in vitro biology of cells, tissues and organs from both plant and animals. In 1994 the name was changed to the SIVB. The focus of the SIVB is on biological research, development, and applications of significance to science and society. Their mission is accomplished through the Society's publications; national and local conferences, meetings and workshops; and through support of teaching initiatives in cooperation with educational institutions
