Euroscicon has announced that its 'Elispot Technology: The Latest Tricks' meeting on Thursday 15 October 2009 will be chaired by Prof Paul Lehmann.
Prof Lehmann is a respected T-cell immunologist who introduced and patented image analysis for Elispot, dedicating over 40 of his publications to the basics of Elispot.
In 1998, he founded CTL to assist scientists in Elispot analysis.
CTL offers GLP-compliant Elispot contract research, Elispot readers (visible light and UV), PBMC libraries and reference samples, as well as serum free test media.
The programme for this session will differ slightly from that of the previous meetings in that it contains four clearly distinct, focused sessions.
Session A will cover different applications of Elispot that are unique to the technique - each are of general interest because they can be applied to all fields of study in which Elispot is used.
Session B is dedicated to Elispot standardisation, harmonisation and validation.
There are three major multi-centre programmes ongoing and this session will provide briefings on the progress each has made.
Sessions C and D are assigned to the Elispot reagent and instrument manufacturers so they can share new developments front.
There will also be a dedicated questions and answers session.
Participants will be asked to submit questions before the meeting and also to ask questions ad hoc.
