Attend a keynote webinar exploring advanced live cell screening technology for identifying and expanding rare cell populations with specific functional traits. Learn about a fully automated imaging platform that monitors single cells in conically shaped microwells, enabling researchers to track complex cellular phenotypes over time including morphology, migration patterns, growth rates, and secretion profiles. Discover how this technology addresses limitations of traditional flow cytometry by performing successive measurements on the same cells across multiple timepoints, making it possible to identify rare cell types present at frequencies as low as one in a million. Explore applications in cancer research for detecting drug-resistant cells, immune cell analysis for antibody development, and cell line development requiring functional characterization beyond simple fluorescent markers. Understand the technical capabilities of monitoring approximately 3,000 imageable microwells per 96-well plate, with automated retrieval and expansion of selected clones for downstream genomic and proteomic analyses. Gain insights from Dr. Benjamin Yellen, co-founder of Celldom and former Duke University professor, who brings expertise in computer vision, microscopy, and microfabrication to rare cell biology challenges. Participate in live Q&A to discuss implementation strategies and potential applications in your research. Earn PACE continuing education credits upon completion of the 35-minute presentation.
