Cell-Based Assays: Development and Validation

Cell-Based Assays: Development and Validation is organized by Traininng.com LLC and will be held on Jun 21, 2019.

Overview:
This course covers various aspects of using eukaryotic cell culture as an assay system. Examples of the types of assays of a sample in a cell-based assay include the effect on proliferation, differentiated function and toxicity. Cell-based assays are being used by the pharmaceutical industry for high throughput screening of potential drug candidates.

In vitro assays with eukaryotic cells are being used by the medical device industry for lot release testing of their products. Cell-based assays have the advantage over animal based assays in that the former are lower cost and require less time to complete. With these advantages, cell-based assays are appropriate as the first level of testing before testing in animals.

In addition, the opinion exists that there needs to be a reduction in animal biomedical testing and in vitro cell-based assay systems are one way to achieve this. Attendees will leave the course understanding how eukaryotic cells are used as an assay system. At the conclusion of this webinar, the attendee will have the knowledge of the applicability, development and validation of cell-based assay systems.

Why should you Attend:
This webinar will help the attendee understand the uses of in vitro testing with eukaryotic cell-based systems, the parameters to be considered in the development and optimization of a cell-based assay and the validation of a cell-based assay. 

If you and your company are considering using a cell based assay to assess a pharmaceutical drug or a medical device, this course covers the basic information on the development and validation of cell based assays.

Areas Covered in the Session:
• Background and Introduction
• Development of a Cell-Based Assay
• Validation of a Cell-Based Assay
• Conclusions

Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will benefit those in the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Medical Device Industries that are considering using eukaryotic cell culture for the assay of Toxicity, Proliferation or differentiated (specialized) function. The course will benefit the following stakeholders:
• Research and Development Managers, Supervisors and Technicians
• Manufacturing Managers, Supervisors and Technicians
• Quality Control Managers, Supervisors and Technicians
• Senior Management

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
