Protein/Antibody
Microarrays Workshop
Aims:
Protein arrays enable the investigator to identify many
potential protein-protein interactions in a single assay
using minimal sample. Antibody microarrays are already
available for expression profiling of surface molecules
on whole cells, cytokines from plasma and soluble proteins
from cell extracts. This field is developing rapidly and
the workshop will focus on antibody microarrays. Internationally
recognised scientists at the forefront of these technologies
will address critical issues in the successful application
of this technology; the workshop will also enable people
to gain practical experience using protein/antibody microarrays.
Sessions:
The course will include sessions on:
Who is
this course for?
This one-day workshop is aimed at the general research
community; no prior experience with protein arrays is
required
Invited
contributors:
Dr Larissa Belov (Medsaic)
Prof Richard Christopherson (USyd)
Dr Jeremy Chrisp (Medsaic)
Is there
any practical work?
Yes, this course will give the participant a thorough
understanding of the theory behind protein/antibody microarrays
and provide hands-on experience with protein/antibody
microarrays so they would feel confident in using this
technology in their research.
What
else do I get?
Full set of course materials. Lunch and refreshments
are provided.
When,
where, how?
The course will be run on Friday 1st December. It will
be held at the APAF facility at Sydney University. Maximum
enrolment is 15 people.
Early bird
registration (prior to 1st November) gets the discounted
rate of $500 (academic)/$600 (industrial).
If you
register after the 1st November it is $600 (academic)/$700
(industrial). For registration contact Dr
Ben Crossett, for all other enquires contact the
workshop director, Prof
Richard Christopherson.
