WaferGen’s SmartChip qPCR System has proven success in mRNA and miRNA biomarker profiling and validation. At the core is a 5184-nanowell chip which may be configured to amplify a single sample over 1000’s of genes, or 100’s of samples over tens of genes. We will demonstrate the suitability of this simple, flexible, and cost-effective system to rapidly obtain highly accurate results with a customer case study.

Super-Resolution, Super-Sensitivity and Multiphoton Imaging:
How to push the limits in Optical Microscopy
Speakers: Dr. Christian May, Leica Microsystems, DE
Dr. Rolf Borlinghaus, Leica Microsystems, DE
|
After enabling multi-colour confocal nanoscopy on Leica TCS STED and Leica TCS STED CW, Leica now adds the new Leica SR GSD to its super-resolution portfolio. Learn more about the principles of Ground State Depletion (GSD) microscopy. Further, Leica´s new HyD detector with highest sensitivity and the new Leica TCS MP5 multiphoton microscope with OPO will be presented.

Next Generation Sequencing – new possibilities in high-throughput sequencing
Speaker: G. Nyakatura, LGC Genomics GmbH, Berlin, DE |
|
|
| We will introduce LGC Genomics’ sequencing portfolio, giving a short overview of Next Generation Sequencing technologies. We will provide an in-depth overview of LGC Genomics’ capabilities and services in Next Generation Sequencing, particularly in relation to using the 454 GS FLX and the Illumina HiSeq2000 platforms. We will also introduce a proprietary novel approach to whole transcriptome. |

ZEISS on your Campus - Optical Sectioning in Light Microscopy
Speaker: Christian Hellriegel, Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH, DE
|
|
Carl Zeiss offers a complete line of imaging systems for optical sectioning. This symposium is dedicated to your application needs and addresses the question which of the technologies is the most suitable for you. A general overview about the different approaches for optical sectioning is given and so is the comparison of their individual strengths.

The European Research Council funding opportunities
Introductory remarks: Helga Nowotny, President of the ERC
Speakers: Jonas Bunikis, Sally Donaldson, Takashi Hiiragi, Sascha Martens, Pascale Cossart & Jane Langdale |
|
The European Research Council is dedicated to funding investigator-driven frontier research with scientific excellence being the sole selection criterion. Grants are awarded to both starting and established researchers, irrespective of their origins, who are working or moving to work in Europe. Different ERC calls will be presented and grantees invited to relate their experiences.

Meganucleases and TALEN™: efficient and accessible tools for specific genomic modifications in any organism
Speaker: Dr. Lars Knoch |
|
Meganuclease-driven cGPS® targeted integration kits are easy and ready-to-use tools for the fast and effortless generation of cell lines, stably over-expressing a gene of interest without any selection agent. The generated cell lines are stable and isogenic, enabling the generation of robust data for comparison. The newly launched Custom TALEN Access™ offer will be presented as an efficient and cost-effective genome customization tool to generate gene-specific knock-outs and modifications. TAL Effector Nucleases, real ‘genomic scissors’, are a novel class of sequence-specific endonucleases enabling any genomic modifications to generate the organism with desired characteristics.
