Invitrogen will present major trends in stem-cell technologies at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Annual Meeting in Barcelona, Spain.
The ISSCR meeting is the pre-eminent international stem-cell conference, attracting more than 2,500 of the foremost stem-cell professionals from public, private, academic and government organisations.
Several presentations during the conference will highlight how Invitrogen products are enabling pioneering approaches to culture and expansion of multiple human stem-cell types.
Life Technologies, through its Invitrogen portfolio of products, is playing a principal role in induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC) research, working with collaborators from leading research centres to develop new tools and technologies to advanced IPSC discoveries.
A number of products, for use across the IPSC workflow, will be highlighted during the conference, including Virapower Hiperform reprogramming technologies, Knockout SR Xenofree and Stempro serum-free media and growth-factor cocktails, Cellstart xeno-free substrates and the Dynabeads SSEA-4 extraction system.
At the ISSCR meeting, Mohan Vemuri, PhD, director of stem cells and regenerative medicine for Life Technologies, and Mahendra Rao, PhD, vice-president of stem-cell research, will present tutorials on the benefits of using Invitrogen's Xenofree Media for growing human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and neural stem cells.
For those not attending the conference, questions on these and other tutorials featuring Invitrogen products will be answered on the Invitrogen website.
Questions can be submitted at Invitrogen's website, where the panellists' slides and answers will be available after the meeting.
