Face-to-Face with Cancer: The Power of High-Content Imaging and Analytics to Illuminate Cell Population Dynamics

Webinar: Face-to-Face with Cancer: The Power of High-Content Imaging and Analytics to Illuminate Cell Population Dynamics

To advance our biological understanding of cancer and improve treatment efficacy, we are utilizing quantitative high-content imaging to illuminate the dynamic interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment within physiologically-relevant model systems.

In this webinar, we highlight the potential of high-content screening (HCS) to measure cell behavior within complex heterocellular environments. When employed with image analysis techniques, such as machine learning, high-content imaging enables us to rapidly and accurately classify cell types within co-culture systems. This combination of technologies also empowers us to determine environment-mediated drug responses in both 2D monolayer and 3D patient-derived organoid systems.

HCS for Predictive Toxicology and in vitro Pathology Using Simple 3D Microtissues

Webinar: HCS for Predictive Toxicology and in vitro Pathology Using Simple 3D Microtissues

This webinar will describe the integration of biology and engineering to devise simple, high-throughput 3D human microtissues as predictive biology platforms that reflect human physiology and disease, solving fundamental questions of adverse biological response with the goal of modernizing toxicity and drug candidate testing.

A key aspect of this approach is the implementation of “in vitro pathology”, making use of quantitative metrics from reconstructed 3D microtissue images to discern adverse biological effects. This strategy is currently being used to develop 3D microtissues of a variety of human tissues, exploring the utility of single cell lines, co-cultures of cells, and human induced pluripotent stem cells. The goal is to access a wide variety of cellular behavior, characterizing responses across the biological landscape using simple and rapid techniques.

3D High-Content Screening of Organoids for Drug Discovery

Webinar: 3D High-Content Screening of Organoids for Drug Discovery

In this webinar the speakers describe the marriage of 3D organoids and high-content screening (HCS) to discover targeted drug therapies effective against the malignant phenotype in colorectal cancer (CRC). The CRC tumor organoid model described features an innovative dual reporter of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including: E-cadherin promoter red fluorescent protein and vimentin promoter green fluorescent protein cloned into a single pCDH1 lentiviral vector.

The speakers also describe a robust methodology for automated tumor organoid culture and validated 3D high-content analysis algorithms. Using these approaches they have screened a focused library of 3,000 small molecule compounds and have identified and validated hits that promote the reversion of EMT in CRC.

Advanced Analysis of Complex Cell Models with the New Operetta CLS HCA System

Webinar: Advanced Analysis of Complex Cell Models with the New Operetta CLS HCA System

There is a growing trend towards developing in vitro cell models that recapitulate the in vitro environment in basic research, developmental biology, drug discovery, and toxicology. To achieve this, scientists are using more complex cellular models such as ex vivo tissue, primary cells, stem cells, or a combination of co-culture cells to form 3D structures or scaffolds to generate detailed phenotypic fingerprints for deeper biological insights in both live cell and fixed endpoint assays.

In this webinar, we will show how the advanced features of the new Operetta CLS high-content analysis system from PerkinElmer can help you to achieve the throughput to assess varied conditions, the resolution to capture high-quality image data and insights from the data.
