Happy Anniversary!  In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Cell Culture this year, ATCC has teamed up with Corning to offer a series of complimentary technical webinars (your invitation is below) where you can get novel tips, best practices and proven techniques to help you with your research. 

In addition, Corning is awarding research grants for new lab start-ups and is offering raffles for trips to ASCB's annual meeting in December, laptop computers, beaker mugs, promotions and more.  More information, including the history of cell culture, is on a special Anniversary website at www.corning.com/cells100.

We hope to see you online next month! Happy Anniversary!

Life and Death in Vitro -- the Evolution of Techniques for Measuring Cell Growth and Toxicity in Culture

Sponsored by Corning and ATCC
Tuesday, June 5 - 12 noon EDT; 17:00 GMT 
Repeats June 6 - 10 am EDT; 15:00 GMT

Join this live, on-line seminar to learn about the development of in vitro techniques for measuring and estimating cell growth and cytotoxicity including direct cell counting, clonogenic assays and microplate-based assays. Also covered will be some of the problems that are typically encountered when trying to measure cytotoxicity using these techniques:

        - Timing experiments
        - Defining cytotoxicity
        - What is the dose?
        - Interpreting results

About the Presenter - Dr. John Ryan, a researcher, educator and sought-after lecturer has spent 32 years in animal and plant cell culture. His lively, moderately-paced seminars are packed full of useful ideas and techniques to help you with your cell culturing.
