Life and Death in Vitro - the Evolution of Techniques for Measuring Cell Growth and Toxicity in Culture
Thursday, June 10, 2010, 9:00 AM Eastern Time (ET)

This seminar will discuss the development of in vitro techniques for measuring and estimating cell growth and cytotoxicity including direct cell counting, clonogenic assays and microplate-based assays. Also covered will be some of the problems that are typically encountered when trying to measure cytotoxicity using these techniques:

Timing experiments
Defining cytotoxicity
What is the dose?
Interpreting results

Speaker: Mark Rothenberg, Ph.D.
