PG8 - Cellular and molecular technologies of today - treatments of tomorrow

Postgraduate Course
Chairs: O. Eickelberg (Giessen, Germany), R. Chambers (London, United Kingdom)
Aims: This course will introduce and outline in detail novel developments of cutting-edge techniques that are appropriate for the analysis of patient-obtained material, e.g. biopsies or blood samples, irrespective of the underlying lung disease. Findings of particular interest to the respiratory community will be presented, alongside outlining the capabilities of novel technologies applicable to respiratory research.
At the end of the course, the audience will have obtained:
-detailed information about novel technological achievements applicable to their own research;
-novel ideas on how to integrate novel technologies into respiratory research;
-resources and practical advice for new users;
-the knowledge to identify the appropriate experimental technique, as well as its limitations, that needs to be implemented for a given research question.
