Cureline workshop

“New Tissue Preservation Technologies Improving Commercialization of Human Biospecimens" workshop at the ISBER 2010 Annual Meeting (Rotterdam, Netherlands), May 11-14, organized by Cureline.

 

The workshop was a great success based on the attendance and the lively Q&A that followed the presentations by the panelists. ISBER E&T Committee showed interest to the presentations and proposed Cureline to organize a plenary session at ISBER 2011.

 

Workshop Overview
Standard methods for preservation of tissue specimens for molecular analyses, including freezing and embedding in paraffin, have not undergone significant improvements for many years, are not energy efficient, and require long-term investments in complex and expensive infrastructure. Cureline is an experienced player in the international biobanking arena, and we collaborate with various institutions on development of tissue procurement technologies that may improve commercialization of human biospecimens. An overview of existing cutting edge methods and new trends for tissue preservation will be given. A special emphasis will be on methods developed recently for preservation of solid tissue specimens. An access to these powerful technologies can bring any biobanking organization to a new level of servicing academic investigators and  the biopharmaceutical industry. The presentation will be supported with real examples/speakers and discussion of new trends in tissue preservation and commercialization.

Facilitators: Olga Potapova, PhD, Irina Zaytseva, MBA
