Quantitative Imaging Cytometry Symposium
|
| Description: |
Continuing its commitment to educational programs in the science and practice of quantitative imaging cytometry, the International QIC Centers of Excellence are pleased to announce that the 2011 QIC Symposium will be held on September 27-29 in Boston, Massachusetts, hosted by the International QIC Center at Children’s Hospital Boston, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
Morning presentations will take place in the Jimmy Fund Auditorium at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute:
Organization of the Hematopoietic Environment in the Bone Marrow -- Leslie Silberstein, MD, Director, Joint Program in Transfusion Medicine, Children's Hospital Boston, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
How Imaging Cytometry Makes a Difference in Answering Complex Questions -- Stephan Ruetz, PhD, Laboratory Head, Oncology Research, Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel, Switzerland
Mechanisms of Heart Muscle Cell Proliferation -- Bernhard Kühn, MD, Associate in Cardiology, Children’s Hospital Boston, and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston MA
Laser Scanning Cytometry for Assessment of DNA Damage -- Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz, MD, PhD, Director, Brander Cancer Research Institute, Valhalla, NY
Novel Cell-Array Technology Combined with the Power of Laser Scanning Cytometry (LSC) in High-Throughput DNA Content and FISH Analysis -- Kohsuke Sasaki, MD, Chair of Department of Pathology and Dean of Medical School, Yamaguchi University School of Medicine, Ube, Japan
Safety and Efficacy of Islet Cell Transplantation – Fouad Kandeel, MD, PhD, Director, Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism, City of Hope Medical Center, Duarte, CA
Preclinical Pharmacokinetic and Biomarker Analysis of a Small Molecule Inhibitor of Aurora Kinases in Human Xenograft Tumor and Surrogate Tissues -- Gloria Juan, PhD, Principal Scientist, Clinical Immunology, Amgen, Thousand Oaks, CA
Cell Surface Immunophenotyping by LSC: History, Present, and Future – Richard Clatch, MD, PhD, Chair, Department of Pathology, Lake Forest Hospital, Lake Forest, IL
Registrants may select one of three tracks for afternoon workshops:
Track 1 (Basic) will provide researchers with an introduction to QIC technology and its most common applications. The workshops in this track will provide a solid background in the laser scanning cytometry for those attendees without an in-depth familiarity with the technology. Topics will include quantitative and imaging end-points, segmentation strategies, basic applications, and data analysis options.
Day 1 – Designing QIC Experiments – Instructor: William Telford, NIH
Day 2 – Cellular Applications/ DNA Content/Cell Cycle/Apoptosis/ Multiplexing/ High Content and High Throughput – Instructor: Heather Zecchini, Cancer Research UK
Day 3 – Tissue Applications/ Chromatic Analysis/ Fluorescent Analysis/ Fluorochromatic Analysis – Instructor: David Krull, GSK
Track 2 (Advanced) is designed for experienced QIC users and is structured to foster communications around a particular topic, so that the skills and knowledge of each of the participants can provide insight to others. Led by a facilitator, discussions will be focused on a particular application area and will include protocol and application presentations from participants in order to provide a productive discussion of the hows and whys of specific solutions. Topics may include quantitative in situ protein expression analysis, cell signaling pathways, cell cycle/DNA damage/apoptosis analysis, live-cell toxicologic assays, and advanced segmentation strategies.
Day 1 – Advanced Automated Tissue Analysis, Facilitator: Sue Ludmann, Amgen
Day 2 – Advanced Cell Cycle/ DNA Damage/Cell Signaling, Facilitator: Stephan Ruetz, Novartis
Day 3 – New Developments: Live Cell Analysis, Advanced Image Analysis, Facilitator: Jonathon Thon, Children's Hospital Boston, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School
Registration is now open at www.imagingcytometrycenter.com.
As in previous years, we expect this symposium to be over-subscribed. We advise you to register well in advance to assure space availability.

Tooth gnashing and tongue wagging: development and regeneration in craniofacial organs
|
| Description: |
Speaker: Ophir Klein, MD, PhD, University of California San Francisco, School of Dentistry
Location: The Forsyth Institute, Seminar Room A, 245 First Street, 17th Floor, Cambridge
Summary: For most organs, development depends on communication between two tissues, epithelium and mesenchyme. These interactions appear to be mediated largely by a few families of signaling molecules, including FGFs, Hedgehogs, BMPs, WNTs, and Notch pathway members. In postnatal life, these same families of molecules also regulate renewal and differentiation of adult stem cells, which contribute to tissue homeostasis and repair. I will discuss ongoing work in my laboratory, which focuses on craniofacial organs as a model for both organogenesis and for stem cell biology, and in particular on the function of the FGF and Hedgehog signaling pathways in these processes. Additionally, I will describe newer work focusing on the role of transcriptional regulators in regenerative biology.
