Simplified high-dimensional cytometry for clinical trials
High-dimensional cytometry can characterize cell types and states in great detail by measuring expression levels of multiple predefined sets of surface and intracellular proteins in individual cells. This powerful technique can allow us to get a more accurate understanding of immune and tumor cell types and their impact on disease progression and response to therapies. However, its application to clinical translational research and for use in exploratory endpoints for clinical trials has been hindered due to difficulties in panel design, reproducibility and standardization of multi-center trials. In this webinar learn about how CyTOF (cytometry by time-of-flight) technology and the new CyTOF® XT cytometer are speeding up and standardizing these assays and assisting in speeding up biomarker discovery and validation.
What will you learn?
- How CyTOF technology simplifies the whole high-dimensional cytometry process, from panel design all the way down to data analysis
- An overview of the new hands-free and high-throughput CyTOF® XT mass cytometer
- How ready-to-use immune profiling kits, sample multiplexing and the possibility to freeze down stained samples facilitates multi-center clinical trials
- How CyTOF assays are more cost-effective compared to standard high-dimensional flow cytometry assays
Who may this interest?
- Pharmaceutical professionals
- Bioanalytical scientists
- Those applying flow/mass cytometry assays in clinical trials
