Grow More Cells! Scaling Up Cell Production
Tuesday, May 15, 2007, 12:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)

Life science researchers are constantly being asked to grow more cells for cell-based experiments and assays, and producing recombinant proteins, antibodies, vaccines and viral vectors. This live, on-line seminar will help you select the vessels and techniques that can best meet your needs for growing large amounts of cells (up to 10¹⁰ cells) or producing more products from these cells in a typical research laboratory setting. One goal of this seminar is to keep the scale up process as simple as possible and thus increase the likelihood of success. Another goal is to save money or reduce costs and make the scale up process more affordable to research laboratories faced with tight budgets. Topics covered will include:

Speaker:

Todd Upton, Ph.D. is the Applications Manager for the Cells and Drug Discovery Products of Corning Life Sciences and has over 12 years experience in cell culture.  He received his bachelor's degree from the University of New Hampshire and his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut.  He did his post-doctoral studies at Harvard Medical School/Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  After completing this training, Dr. Upton then moved to the industrial sector where he studied the mechanisms of adult stem cell biology and T-cell development for immunotherapy applications.  During this same time Dr. Upton helped develop disposable technologies for both adherent and non-adherent cell growth in small and medium scales.  He then moved on to Corning where he has been instrumental in developing protocols and applications for new and existing products.  Dr. Upton has authored several patents as well as many publications in the field of cell biology.  Finally, Dr. Upton has taught numerous introductory and advanced cell culture classes at Boston University School of Medicine.

We hope you will join us for this exclusive event.
