assays in an HCS and HTSenvironment
Hosted by: Anthony Davies,Director, Trinity College Dublin
Overview of workshop:It is becoming increasingly clear that for manyresearch applications that Three Dimensional (3D)cell culture and cell based assay approachesoffer huge advantages over the moreconventional 2D cell culture and assay models.This workshop will provide an overview of the verylatest 3D cell based assay and culturetechnologies and techniques for use inbiomedical research and drug discovery and thekey application areas for these technologies witha focus on HTS and HCS. • To gain an insight into the issues surroundingthis new area of research
• The opportunity of discussing issues and ideasand sharing experiences with other scientists
• Networking opportunities with peer scientistsworking in the same area
Who should attend?Any scientist using or considering the use of 3Dcell culture and assay technologies for the firsttime.
8.30 Registration & Coffee9.00 Welcome & Introductions9.10 An overview of the main application
areas of 3D assay and cell culture technologies

selected studies using 3D assay technologies12.10 Q & A and group discussion 12.30 Close of Workshop
About your wokshop leader:Dr Davies received his PhD in molecularCardiology from the Faculty of Medicine,University of Dundee Scotland. Following thecompletion of this research project he joined TheTayside Institute of Child Health, Dundee,Scotland where he focused on the developmentof specialised cell based assays for the study ofhypoxic and ischemic insult in cardiac musclecells and tissues. Dr Davies undertook furtherresearch at the University of Glasgow where hefocused on the development of miniaturised cellbased assays and cellular arrays for use with highthroughput and high content screening. Dr Daviesnow holds a senior position as director of highcontent research facility (Trinity HCA) Departmentof Clinical Medicine Trinity College Dublin whereas part of his work has led a research teamfocused on the development of a novel 3D assaysystem designed for use in HTS and HCS.
