Detection of cytokines is often at the heart of medical research, but the multitude of techniques involved, and their complexity can make finding the right technique difficult. This meeting will give an insight into the latest advances in both established techniques, such as ELISPOT and FACS and the more recently developed mulitplex technology for both genes and proteins, such as the Luminex system. Talks will be given by both the companies developing these techniques and the academics using them. Chair: Dr Catherine Derry more »

This will be a small informal meeting for anyone with questions about Microarray technology. On registration you will get the opportunity to submit up to three questions to be given to the panel of experts on the day of the Symposium. The questions will be delivered by the meetings chair - and there will be plenty of time for interaction with other delegates and with the panel. more »

This years meeting will focus on gene expression. Presentations will consider the fixation of nucleic acids, compare their demonstration with proteins and explore the role of fluorescence detection methods. For the first time, presentations will be given on both immunohistochemistry based protein atlas projects. Dr Tony Warford, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge (meetings chair) more »

“For many years transplantation protocols have utilised haemopoietic tissues containing adult stem cells. Subsequent progress in scientific and clinical research characterized the cells responsible for haemopoietic reconstitution. Recently, normal and cancer stem cells have been identified in a variety of tissues. Our ability to manipulate these stem cells and/or their progenitors should lead to exciting developments in tissue engineering, tissue regeneration, therapeutic intervention as well as facilitating functional and molecular studies. Talks from leaders in the field will highlight identification and isolation of normal and cancer stem cells; current protocols for their growth and their potential application in cell based therapies” - Dr Erica De Wynter, University of Leeds – the Meeting’s Chair more »

Model organisms have a long history of underpinning research into basic biological processes from the fundamental mechanisms of genetics to the detailed molecular understanding of developmental processes. In the post genome era several of the well established models are now serving as templates for systems level research. Compact genomes and well-established genomics resources, coupled with excellent genetics, facilitate the development of experimental and computational methods that are more widely applicable to, for example, the development of systems approaches in mammals. The meeting aims to demonstrate how whole-genome and systems level approaches are progressing with key model systems covering the major non-mammalian species.

This meeting has a broad remit - basic concepts, variations, data analysis, instrument platforms, signal detection formats, sample collection, assay design, execution PCRs and quality issues. Conventional PCR, real-time quantitative PCR, multiplexing, single tube reactions (RNA to PCR products), all with a focus on clinical & diagnostic use. As with all Euroscicon meetings, we expect a packed agenda with plenty of discussion. There will also be plenty of opportunity for networking - Dr Ralph Rapley, Department of Biosciences, University of Hertfordshire more »

“Suppressor T cells, after several decades in the dark, are now very much back in focus as key immunoregulatory T cells. Despite extensive interest and research in this area, many of the precise characterisics of these naturally anergic and suppressive cells are unclear, namely their specific markers, the importance of cytokines and costimulatory molecules in their action, the ligands on APC and their propagation in an antigen specific manner. Similarly, the importance of their role in early embryonic development, allergy, autoimmunity and transplantation is becoming increasingly clear. This meeting will illuminate the latest findings in many of these areas, and will provide an ideal forum for discussion with scientists currently working on regulatory T cells and those seeking to set up research in this area.” - Dr Catherine Derry - Meeting's Chair more »

Participant Feedback
"Thanks for a delightful and interesting meeting. I think it worked just great with the mix of academic and company-based presentations and the whole program felt comprehensive and important" - Fredrik Ponten, MD, PhD Department of Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University, HPR research group, Sweden "A big thanks to you and all your team for putting on the excellent meeting yesterday. The meeting place was great, and the organisation was superb. No hitches at all from my point of view. From the conversations I had with some of the delegates, it seems that the meeting was well received. There really is no other regular forum for these kinds of discussions in the UK , so it was a very welcome opportunity".- Prof. Julian Ma , Hotung Chair of Molecular Immunology, Dept. of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (CMM), St. George 's Hospital Medical School, London "A civilised exchange of views on differences in findings – clear presentations" - Jan Clark, CIMR "Liked the fact the speakers were available to answer questions during the coffee time. It was useful having the companies give seminars as opposed to just having them at their stand"- Sarah Burl, Infant Immunology Group, Virology Department, MRC The Gambia "Thoroughly enjoyed the meeting last week - just such a shame that I could not stay for the whole day - but what I did hear was very interesting. I certainly will come to more of the events as some of the titles on the programme look really good" - Professor Diana Watt, Professor of Human Anatomy, Brighton and Sussex Medical School, UK "We enjoyed the day very much indeed and look forward to attending another event soon".- Scott Reid. IAH Pirbright, Institute for Animal Health "Good location, staff very helpful, Tony Warford entertaining and knowledgeable chairman" - Pauline Connor, North Middlesex Hospital , London "Thank you for organising such a useful meeting. I know that it was apprecaited by many colleagues and that it provoked good discussion and scientific debate" - Dr Paul Duprex, School of Biomedical Sciences, The Queen's University of Belfast, Ireland "Well organised, interesting speakers were chosen" - Philippa Roddam, St Jude Children's Research Hospital , Memphis, USA "Very high quality talks and speakers"- Joanna Bridger PhD, Senior L ec turer, Centre for Cell and Chromosome Biology, Biosciences, Brunel University "I enjoyed the meeting, the duration of each of the speakers was just right and was pitched at just the right level for the audience. Great forum for meeting people and discussing the subject matter, overall very informative" - Vivien Jacobs, AstraZenea "I have found the talks very stimulating. The content was of high standard . A well run and presented meeting ".- Mrs Jean Bettany, Smith & Nephew, UK "Good range of talks – very interesting and relevant" - Dr Lorna Jarvis , Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK "James was pleased and said the meeting was excellent, with lots of discussion. I would be delighted to participate in the next edition". - Lorenzo Frigerio, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick " Thank you very much for the invitation to speak last Friday. I found the meeting interesting, useful and enjoyable. Well done to the organisers" . Paula Murphy B. A .(mod), PhD., Lecturer, Zoology Department, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland " Very much enjoyed the event - would definitely speak at a future EuroSciCon event if asked again". Chris Mason MB BS, PhD FRCS, Regenerative Medicine Bioprocessing Uni, Advanced Centre for Biochemical Engineering, University College, London " It was an enjoyable meeting, and as someone starting out in the proteomics field on a new collaborative grant very informative" . Peter J Charles, Chief Biomedical Scientist, Division of Immunology, Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust "The very informal setting enabled lively discussion in refreshment breaks" - Louise Jopling, UCB Group "Very well organised, friendly staff, good quality talks" - Professor John A Bryant, Chair, Christians in Science, School of Biosciences , University of Exeter "I found the meeting 'Visualising transcription, gene positioning and reorganisation in the nucleus' very very interesting. I'll keep into real consideration to came back to your next meetings" - Dr. MariaPaola Recalcati, Istituto A uxologico Italiano, Milan, Italy 'It was a very good meeting for Guava and I look forward to joining a few more in the future'. - Dr Paul Wheeler, UK Sales Manager, Guava Technologies Inc.
