DESCRIPTION:‘Neuroscience models: tips and tricks for stem cell differen
 tiation to cells of neural lineage\, downstream protein analysis and quant
 ification.'                                     \n\nFollowing on from the 
 success of its first technical lecture in association with Life Technologi
 es\, Cambridge Neuroscience welcomes Dr David Bourdon to Cambridge. The le
 cture will look at neuroscience models (Parkinson's disease\, Alzheimer's 
 disease) and focus on tips and tricks for stem cell culture\, engineering 
 and differentiation to cells of neural lineage and the downstream analysis
  through imaging/flow cytometry & protein analysis and quantification.\n\n
 David’s Ph.D. and postdoctoral work focused on the study of G protein co
 upled receptor pharmacology and thrombosis. Following his academic trainin
 g\, he led Luminex multiplexing automation efforts at PerkinElmer. Joining
  Life Technologies in 2009\, David is an R&D Staff Scientist in Carlsbad\,
  California\, where he and his team developed the ProtoPlex™ Immune Resp
 onse Assay platform. David is a vocal advocate of utilizing Novex multiple
 xed immunoassay tools to measure both halves of the proteome (antigens & a
 utoantibodies) with xMAP technology. Along with collaborators at the Unive
 rsity of California - San Diego\, David is utilizing the combined power of
  Novex multiplexed cytokine panels as well as the newly developed Novex Pr
 otoPlex platform to perform immune profiling with the goal of identifying 
 autoantibody biomarkers in high profile autoimmune and viral diseases. Dav
 id welcomes discussions and can be reached at david.bourdon@lifetech.com\n
 \nDavid will be in Cambridge for the entire day so please do not hesitate 
 to get in touch with him to arrange a meeting.\n\nRegistration is FREE but
  is required and available at http://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/events/eve
 nt.php?permalink=1b46c26790\n\nThe lecture will be followed by a wine rece
 ption and an opportunity to talk to David.
