Hosted by University College London Translational Research Office
This is an event organised by Dr Conor McCann and the Regenerative Medicines Therapeutic Innovation Networks* (TINs), and supported by UCL Translational Research Office and NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre - The Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine theme.
Who shall attend this event:
Basic and translational researchers from across UCL are encouraged to attend in person and external delegates are welcome to join remotely.
Why should you attend this event:
The event aims to showcase functional assays and physiological techniques which may be useful across the wider RegMed field to increase understanding of applications and expertise that are needed and are available within UCL to monitor the effectiveness of therapies. Techniques to be discussed include: Calcium Imaging, Patch clamp, Extracellular electrophysiology / Multielectrode arrays, Intracellular microelectrode electrophysiology, Organ bath contractility, and other imaging modalities which are relevant to many research fields. Interesting insights in this area will also be provided by GenScript and Cairn Research. The event will close with an interactive roundtable discussion and delegates will have the opportunity to explore what techniques could be used to address their specific research questions.
The Regenerative Medicines TIN aims to remove barriers and reach out to researchers at all career stages across departments and research areas. We highlight case studies of Regenerative Medicine at UCL, providing insights into the work of the Therapeutic Innovation Networks and an example of projects looking for collaborators to accelerate translation.
