Genes and Tissue Culture Assignment Presentation (Group 3)Lim Ke Wen
The culture of cells in two dimensions does not reproduce the histological characteristics of a tissue for informative or useful study. Growing cells as three-dimensional (3D) models more analogous to their existence in vivo may be more clinically relevant. Discuss the potential of using three dimensional cell cultures for anti-cancer drug screening.
Data-integration platform for cancer research:cBioPortal demoCORBEL
Participants will be introduced to the data-integration platform cBioPortal. Here, different sources of research data (clinical, imaging, biosample and experimental) of a study are integrated, enabling viewing, querying and analysis.
This webinar is aimed at data managers, researchers, PhD students and postdocs involved in clinical, translational and biomedical research.
Improvements in sequencing technologies have led to a deluge of genomics data in many fields of research. Specifically, the increasing size of cancer-related genomics datasets require comprehensive software solutions that remain accessible to clinical researchers. Clearly, there is an obvious need for tools that integrate genomics and other molecular biology results with the phenotypic and clinical outcome data. During this webinar, the cBio Cancer Genomics Portal (cBioPortal) will be introduced through a practical use case.
The cBioPortal is an open source data integration platform that enables researchers to view, query, analyse and share complex genomic cancer datasets in a user-friendly manner. The platform was originally developed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, USA)1 and is actively maintained and further developed by an international community. The original instance of cBioPortal (http://cbioportal.org) currently provides access to data from almost 83000 tumor samples from 273 public studies.
The demo will include:
· short introduction on the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)
· navigation through a public study on the data-integration platform cBioPortal
· recreation of select plots from publications of interest using cBioPortal functionalities
The CORBEL webinar series aims to address challenges and share best practice between biological and medical research infrastructures. The series is aimed at technical operators of RIs and is aligned with the CORBEL competency framework.

Canada is a hotbed for the commercialization of regenerative medicine and stem cell discoveries. How appropriate, since two Canadian doctors, James Till and Ernest McCulloch discovered transplantable stem cells at the Ontario Cancer Institute in Toronto in 1961.
Accelerated growth in this industry sector is opening up new job opportunities for medical laboratory technologists. The benefits include working with scientific discoveries and leading-edge technologies to find exciting new treatment options that can help people living with devastating diseases and conditions.
Check out my story From Bench to Business in the Winter 2015 issue of the Canadian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science. I enjoyed interviewing Lianne Witt, technical director of laboratory and client services at Insception Lifebank, Canada’s largest private cord blood bank, and Emily Titus, manager of technology at Centre for Commercialization for Regenerative Medicine (CCRM). Their career paths are inspiring for medical laboratory technologists looking for opportunities beyond traditional hospital labs. It is a great time to be working in the fields of regenerative medicine and stem cells!
The void between preclinical testing and clinical trials of drugs reveals a crucial roadblock to efficient drug discovery. This plan defines an apporach to bioengineer structurally representative human tissues in vitro using the power of outstanding international academic collaborations.

Innovation applications of microphysiological systems (MPS) have been growing over the past decade, especially with respect to the use of complex human tissues for assessing safety of drug candidates – but broad industry adoption of MPS methods has not yet become a reality.
This webinar addresses some recent advances in MPS development and begins to explore the barriers to increased incorporation of MPS to improve drug safety assessment and to provide safer, more effective drugs into the clinical pipeline.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Tuesday 19th February 2019
Copthorne Tara Hotel, London, UK
8.30-12.30
3D you can see –
planar 3D spheroid arrays for histology
Workshop overview:
Certain standard procedures are indispensable for life
sciences. Histology is one of them. But for 3D spheroids,
histological assessment so far has been done as irregular
bulk without a clear optical plane. Thanks to the totally
regular array spheroid building in the Sphericalplate 5D, we
will show how to catch spheroids with polymerizing gel and
processing histology to a planar array of 750 spheroids. This
perfectly fits a microscope slide and allows the user to do
histological assessment of 3D spheroids like never before.
Why you should attend this workshop:
• If you do histology on 3D spheroids, this workshop is for you.
It offers you a new dimension of scalability and analysis flow
• Various research areas like cancer screening and stem cell
research need an individual understanding of spheroid
biology – cut in one plane x 750 samples gives you
unparalleled data accuracy
• Statistical power will be much higher, as you can rely on
more, regular data points
• Various showcases like hypoxia effects on spheroid biology
or cell population heterogeneity can be studied more
accurately when spheroids are organised in one plane

About the Workshop Leaders:
Michael Raghunath is a physician scientist heading
the Center for Cell Biology & Tissue Engineering at
the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. From 2003-
2016 he was a tenured Associate Professor at the
National University of Singapore (Biomedical Engineering/
Biochemistry/A*STAR Institute for Medical Biology). As council
member of TERMIS-EU, he is experienced in fundamental,
clinical and industrial research with accomplishments in the
fields of in matrix biology (pathobiochemistry of collagens
and elastic microfibrils) and skin biology (wound repair,
cornification disorders). He has pioneered the systematic
use of macromolecular crowding as novel technology
in tissue engineering to build cell-specific and lineage-
directing microenvironments.
Patrick Kugelmeier studied medicine and did
his medical thesis in islet transplantation for the
treatment of Diabetes. The joy of research led to
an MD-PhD program for the early differentiation
of stem cells. Cell culture technologies at that time didn’t
allow for good data reproducibility, because stem cells
were cultured in 2D. Fueled by the clinical need of small,
size-controlled cell clusters to improve islet transplantation
and the insights from the sensitivity of stem cells, he began
to develop what was later to become the Sphericalplate
5D. After the MD-PhD program, he did his clinical training
in visceral and transplant surgery followed by trauma
surgery. Besides the clinical work, the Sphericalplate 5D
was further developed. Finally, it became clear that this
technology opens a new dimension in cell transplantation
and regenerative medicine and Dr. Kugelmeier decided to
quit surgery to fully live this vision within a startup-company,
the Kugelmeiers AG.

Payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given until
payment has been received.
Substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not ‘share’ a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your attendance at an event and you are unable to send
a substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a £50 administration charge,
providing that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of the
event. Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide the
conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is unable
to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefings we are not normally able to
provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of orders placed
for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifically to order. If we
have to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately, but disclaim
any further liability.
Alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
