Eukaryote cell transfection, an invaluable and widely used tool, has been employed for several decades to manipulate and study cellular physiology. In recent years this tool has evolved to achieve greater efficiency and minimize the disadvantages of previously used techniques. This seminar will cover some of the traditional and widely used methods, present their advantages and drawbacks, and also address how the methods have been optimized and improved in recent years. In addition, we will discuss novel approaches to cellular transfection and specific applications where they can be most effectively used. Although the seminar will cover transfection of several organisms, primary attention will be paid to mammalian systems.

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."

About our sponsors
Corning is happy to acknowledge the help of ATCC and SIVB in sponsoring these Cell Culture and Assay Training Seminars.
|
Founded in 1925, ATCC is the world's leading Biological Resource Center. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement, validation and application of scientific knowledge. For cell biologists, ATCC offers primary cells, over 3,400 cell lines from 150 species and fully tested media, sera and tissue culture reagents.

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
