Cell-Based Assays: Innovations in Reagents, Technologies & Screening
October 23 - 24, 2008
Radisson Hotel Valley Forge
King of Prussia, PA, USA

Symposium Overview
Cell-based assays provide one of the most valuable tools in drug discovery.  They are routinely used in target validation, HTS campaigns, structure activity relationship analyses and ADMET studies. Many factors need to be considered in designing, developing and running relevant cell based assays to progress discovery programs.  Significant advances continue to be made in assay design and cell supply processes that incorporate biologically relevant cell types and novel detection technologies. This symposium is designed to capture successful techniques and practices that enable high quality cell-based assays using commonly employed cell types such as CHO, HEK and U-2 OS, as well as the expanding application of additional cell types. The symposium will be of great interest to cell culture scientists, assay developers, screeners, medicinal chemists, ADMET and therapeutic teams.

Join SBS for an exciting two-day symposium, featuring top-tier presentations, an exhibit hall and networking reception. This meeting will explore cell-based assays, including innovations in reagents, technologies and screening.

Everybody Wins with SBS

Attendees gain up-to-date knowledge on the advances of cell-based assays in drug discovery. Participants can continue the dialogue and make connections during meal breaks and at the networking reception.

Exhibitors have the opportunity to gain new customers from diverse markets while also providing long-standing customers the chance to reconnect.

Sponsors benefit from high-level visibility in a growing customer base.
