Career Fair at EuroBio 7-9 October in Paris

EuroBiO Career Fair is a three day event 7-9 October in Paris, that benefits from the presence of more than five thousand participants in EuroBiO’s other Pillars (121 business partnering, a lobbying platform and an exhibition) to generate optimum market conditions for recruiters and job seekers.
It’s aimed at recruiters, job seekers and higher education establishments and seeks to further the mobility of researchers throughout the European Research Area.

This year the Career Fair has partnered with the London Biotechnology Network, Association Bernard Gregory and ScienceCareers to put on a special Career Fair Open Day to be held on Wednesday 8th October at BioCity, a dedicated careers area inside the EuroBiO Exhibition. The Career Fair Open Day will put the accent on alternative careers (to the laboratory), and the multiple talents that biotechnology companies require to grow their business. Candidates with the minimum of a Masters Degree in Sciences (or final year PhD) will be able to introduce themselves to recruiters, without prior appointment, and recruiters subsequently will be able to offer one-to-one interviews in booths to those profiles that correspond to their requirements. The Open Day seminars will be looking at alternative science careers such as journalism, degrees for managing biotechnology companies, and concrete measures that facilitate the mobility of researchers. Candidate registration also includes access to the exhibition which showcases Life Sciences stakeholders and leading BioClusters from across the world, the challenging EuroBiO Plenaries, the forward-looking Presenting Company sessions... and networking breaks!

Don't stop your microarray research this summer

Don’t stop your microarray work this summer.  

Use a fluorescent dye that has:

	Reproducible performance all year round
	3-fold more ozone stability
	0% more photostability

Amersham HyPer5 dye is a new fluorescent dye for microarray applications. It combines exceptional ozone and photostability with highly reproducible performance all year round—irrespective of environmental conditions.

To learn more about the exceptional performance of Amersham HyPer5 download a copy of our "Evaluation on the performance of Amersham HyPer5™ dye in comparative genomic hybridization microarray applications" from the Center of Human Genetics, Belgium.

New Snap Tube E-Blast

Finally a way to make your PCR or QPCR secure and simple. The Thermo Scientific ABgene EasyStrip Snap Tubes are 8-well strip tubes with individually sealable caps. Each individual cap will eliminate any chance of cross contamination and make your workflow much easier and more secure.

Optimized Capping Options – Application specific strips available with ultra clear caps for QPCR and domed caps for PCR.

Increased Sensitivity in QPCR – white tubes and Ultra Clear Caps have been proven to increase detection of low copy number templates.

Eliminate Cross Contamination – Individually attached caps do not create aerosols, unlike strip caps, when they are removed after cycling.

REGISTRATION OPEN
http://www.aai.org/Adv_Course/2008/Program.htm
Deadline: Monday, June 30, 2008!

This intensive one-week course is designed for serious students of
immunology. Leading experts will present recent advances in
understanding the biology of the immune system and its role in health
and disease.

The course is intended for scientists and advanced trainees who wish to
expand or update their understanding of the field. This is not an
introductory course and requires that attendees have a firm
understanding of the principles of immunology.

Accommodations at special course rates have been arranged at the
Radisson University Hotel.

Microporation: Low cost of electroporation

User friendly interface

High transfection efficiency and good cell survival rate

Plasmid, protein and SiRNA transfection

Low cost of electroporation

Microporation is a novel and proprietary electroporation technology developed by Digital Bio Technology. Before the Microporation, all of the electroporation is dependent on the plate-type electrode and cuvette style chamber. Microporation is a unique electroporation technology using a pipette TIP as an electroporation space. In doing so, the uniform electric field is generated accompanying minimal heat generation, metal ion dissolution, pH variation and oxide formation ‥‥‥more <http://www.microporator.com/introduction/intorduction_1.php>

Membrane bound G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an integral role in sensing the external environment of the cell. A broad range of external stimuli signal through GPCRs, including neurotransmitters, hormones, odor molecules, cations, and even photons. Their position at the apex of essential signal transduction pathways means that malfunctioning of these molecules frequently leads to disease, making them a perfect target for drug therapies. Further, naturally occurring and induced mutations in GPCRs can provide valuable information about these signaling pathways and their role in human pathologies.

You are invited to join our panel of thought leaders in a live video webinar discussion about these very important proteins. During the broadcast, you will:

*       gain insight into the broad range of GPCR proteins and their role in signaling and disease
*       learn about techniques and technologies available to study GPCRs
*       see data from recent GCPR studies, presented by top scientists in the field
*       have the opportunity to ask questions of the expert panel LIVE during the event
