Plate-Based, Label-Free Biosensors for Drug Discovery: A Whole New World

This one day course will provide an introduction to plate-based, label-free biosensor technology and detailed insight into applications thereof, presented by speakers at the forefront of their fields. The course will provide background on available technologies, where technologies are now, and how they might be applied in the near future. Focus will be placed on the most useful applications with examples from fragment screening, cell screening, protein interaction screening, and next- generation opportunities.

All Short Courses run concurrently and will be held on Sunday, April 6, 2008 from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
