Event Overview:

Cancer remains the primary cause of mortality around the globe, and one significant aspect for the development of efficient anticancer drugs in humans is to better understand human cancer biology during the preclinical stage of drug discovery. Researchers are developing effective preclinical models to investigate tumorigenesis and other significant hallmarks of cancer, including sustaining proliferation, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death, stimulating angiogenesis, activating invasion and metastasis, etc. In this webinar, we will review the currently available robust preclinical cancer models used by the cancer research community, along with an in-depth review of some genotoxic chemical carcinogens.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Learning about all existing and emerging preclinical cancer models and their utility in drug discovery and development.
  • Will deep dive into carcinogen induced models highlighting the advantages and limitations of each model
  • Learn how nitrosamines and related N-nitroso compounds are acting as emerging environmental carcinogens

Who Should Attend:

Basic and translational cancer researchers, preclinical pharmacologists, drug discovery researchers, contract research organizations, and knowledge seekers at all levels in the biomedical field.

The bulky bench-top NIR spectrometer is quietly being dismantled and rebuilt as a wafer-scale photonic chip, a self-calibrating algorithm, and a sensor small enough to ride in a shirt pocket. What once demanded a grating, a moving mirror, and a climate-controlled lab now fits inside a handheld module, a bioreactor probe, or a drone payload, and it increasingly figures out what it is looking at on its own.
Sizing Up the Nanoscale: Measuring Nanocluster Aerosol in Indoor Air
In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
