How to Non-invasively Monitor Stem Cell Differentiation using Luminex® Technology
Monday, September 12, 2016 - 13:32

Joy Aho, PhD, Manager of Stem Cell Research and Development, Bio-Techne
Richard Fuerstenberg, Manager of Multiplex Development, Bio-Techne

In this webinar, Bio-Techne scientists, Richard Fuerstenberg and Joy Aho, discuss a novel method for monitoring stem cell pluripotency, expansion, and differentiation in vitro. This technology utilizes non-invasive sampling of cell culture supernatants to identify and follow changes in key secreted growth factors and cytokines. Using Proteome Profiler™ Antibody Arrays and Luminex® Assays, researchers can quickly monitor changes in cell phenotype without sacrificing yield. These techniques can be used to minimize cross-experiment variability during differentiation as well as to identify key analytes that could be used to predict or direct cell...

Defining A Regulatory Path For Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Based Cell Therapy
Friday, August 26, 2016 - 09:12

Kapil Bharti, PhD, National Eye Institute, Unit on Ocular Stem Cells and Translational Research

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a potential source for developing autologous cell therapies. In this webinar, Dr. Kapil Bharti, provides a streamlined regulatory (cell manufacturing and preclinical) path towards filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to conduct a phase I clinical trial using autologous iPS cells. His group has developed a clinically compatible Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) process to generate and functionally validate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patient-specific iPS cell-derived retinal pigment monolayer tissue. He will discuss in-process quality controls that they have developed to monitor the entire manufacturing process and steps to validate patient-specific...
