ISREC-SCC Symposium 2018 September 8-11, 2018

Posted on by

We invite you to attend the next ISREC-SCC Symposium 2018

September 8-11, 2018, in Lausanne, Switzerland

Following on from the ISREC Symposia in 2011 to 2016, the next ISREC Symposium, to be held in Lausanne in September 2018, will focus on broad themes ­ horizons ­ in cancer biology and therapy. This symposium is presented under the auspices of the multi-institutional Swiss Cancer Center (SCC), which leverages complementary expertise from our partner institutions: the University Hospital & Medical Center (CHUV) of the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Ludwig Cancer Research (Ludwig), the University Hospital & Medical Center (HUG) of the University of Geneva (UNIGE), the Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics (SIB) and the ISREC Foundation. An exciting roster of basic, translational, and clinical cancer scientists will present their results and implications.

Engineering Life

The School of Life Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL) is organizing each year a major international symposium on its campus in Lausanne, Switzerland: the EPFL Life Science Symposium (see LSS2007, LSS2008 or LSS2009 for previous events).

This year’s edition, the LSS2010, is placed under the responsibility of the Institute of Bioengineering (IBI). It will take place Sept. 2nd-4th, 2010 and will be dedicated to Bioengineering, under the motto “Engineering Life”.

This three-day event is structured around five core themes that will each feature several high profile speakers:

* Biomolecular Structure and Systems
* Single Cell Systems
* Multicellular Systems
* Tissue and Physiological Systems
* Therapeutics and Diagnostics

The Protein Expression Core Facility of the Life Sciences Faculty of the EPFL will offer a short lecture course in the basics of recombinant protein production on February 19, 2010 from 9h00 to 12h00 in room CH B3.31 of the chemistry building.

The course will focus on protein production in mammalian cells with less emphasis on E. coli as a production host.

Topics include:

Suspension cultivation of mammalian cells

Transient protein expression in mammalian cells

Generation of recombinant cell lines

Design of expression vectors for mammalian hosts

E. coli as an expression host

Anyone from the Center for Integrative Genomics is welcome to attend. There is no cost for the course.

Please notify David Hacker, the manager, by email before February 17 of your intention to attend the course.
