Jens Kelm - Insphero

This course will describe developing standard procedures for handling cultured cells to set up cell-based assays, describe techniques for measuring cell health and the mechanisms leading to cytotoxicity, and provide an overview of recent technological advances in 3D culture technologies that enable automation-compatible drug testing with more predictive and biologically relevant assays. Case studies will be presented which provide examples of using 3D model systems for screening and drug testing.
