New Channels on Bitesize Bio

To help you find information on exactly what you need we're implementing channels, a new way to browse content

Each channel is focused on a specific technique or area and authored/presented by hand-picked authors who are experts in their field. Make sure you don't miss a thing by checking the box below for each channel that interests you.

In return we'll send you one email per month that brings you the latest from your chosen channel(s), along with free members-only content.

Check out our upcoming new channels; Flow Cytometry and Cell Culture, we'll be launching them very soon!

I would like to receive the newsletters for the following channels

Cell Culture
Flow Cytomery
Microscopy & Imaging
Next Generation Sequencing
Writing, Publishing and Presenting
Cloning & Expression

Don’t Miss Bioconference Live…

From the Bitesize Bio channel

It’s that time of year again…time for BioConference Live! The 6th Annual Life Sciences BioConference Live virtual event kicks off September 12-13, then will be available on-demand for three months following.

This free online-only event will bring scientists from all around the world together exclusively online, to learn about the latest advances in life sciences and topics including Neuroscience, Drug Discovery, Cancer Research, Proteomics, Genomics, Microbiology, Cell Biology, and more. It’s a fantastic way to connect with people in your field without the hassle and expense of traveling.

While you’re at the conference, you can attend sessions, earn free PACE CE credits, chat with solution providers, and discuss ideas with your fellow peers.

Here are some highlights from this year’s list of talks:

• “Keynote Presentation“, presented by George Church, PhD, Professor of Genetics, Director of the Center for Computational Genetics, Harvard Medical School

• “Exploring Next Generation Sequencing Data: Targeted vs. Genomic Approaches” presented by Pinar Bayrak-Toydemir, MD, PhD, Medical Director, Molecular Genetics, Assistant Professor, Clinical Pathology, University of Utah, ARUP Laboratories

• “Hurricane Katrina and its moldy aftermath to ‘sick building syndrome’ and its elusive etiology“, presented by Joan W Bennett, PhD, Rutgers University, Associate Vice President, Office for the Promotion of Women in Science, Mathematics and Engineering

• “Disease biology-based, post-genomic approaches for prognostic and efficacy-predictive biomarkers for cancer”, presented by Peter Blume-Jensen, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Metamark Genetics

• “The immunogenicity of therapeutic proteins: A personalized approach based on pharmacogenetics”, presented by Zuben E Sauna, PhD, Principal Investigator, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, US Food and Drug Administration

• “Endocytosis of EGF receptor: mechanisms and role in signaling”, presented by Alexander D Sorkin, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

• “Interpreting novel variants; making sense out of missense”, presented by Sean Tavtigian, PhD, Associate Professor of Oncological Sciences, Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah School of Medicine

• “Noninvasive Personalized Genomics”, presented by Charles Cantor, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Sequenom

What to read next

Dictyostelium as a Model

As noted in the previous post on Model Organisms, Dictyostelium discoideum is a popular model for studying fundamental aspects of cell-cell communication and chemotaxis. This is a soil-living social amoeba grows as separate, independent cells that interact to form multicellular structures when challenged by adverse conditions such as starvation. Up to 100,000 cells signal each [...]

Telling Time On Your Biological Clock

It is not uncommon for scientists to work irregular hours: starting very early in the morning to have all lab equipment for yourself, and/or continuing until late at night. Next to increased productivity (at least that’s what we think … read on!), what are the other consequences of screwing up your biological clock? Body rhythms [...]

Newborn Screening. Saving Lives the Molecular Way

As a product manager, one of my responsibilities is to exhibit at various scientific conferences to promote and advertise products for genomic DNA extraction. Less than three months into the job, I attended the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) conference to promote a new product we had just launched for DNA extraction from blood [...]

Worms: Models of Development

Continuing with the recent theme on model organisms, there is the nematode (roundworm) Caenorhabditis elegans. This organisms is particularly useful owing to the fact that it has very defined development patterns involving fixed numbers of cells, and it can be rapidly assayed for abnormalities. Further, strains are cheap to breed and can be frozen. When [...]
