Seminar Topic

This seminar will provide an overview of modern approaches to cell health assessment and advanced in vitro analysis in both 2D and 3D culture systems. The program will begin with an introduction to cell health assays and their applications in biologically relevant models, followed by a discussion of current methods for uncovering metabolic changes in cancer cells. Additional attention will be given to label free cell monitoring technologies, highlighting their value for real time and non invasive analysis. The seminar will also present the possibilities of high content imaging for detailed cellular characterization. The event will conclude with final thoughts and an open discussion, offering participants the opportunity to reflect on the presented technologies and their potential use in everyday research.

Who Should Attend?

The seminar is open to all interested participants, regardless of their field or age, and is also suitable for university students. Due to capacity and organizational reasons, registration is required. The entire seminar will be conducted in English.
