Cell culture is an essential technique in modern biological laboratories and is employed in a wide range of fi elds, including oncology, genetics,
pharmacology, and bioproduction. Cell-line contamination and misidentifi cation is a signifi cant threat facing cell culture, with the potential to
invalidate years, if not decades, of data. Other common obstacles to research reproducibility involving culture systems include environmental
variability, media ine ciency, and inappropriate scaling up or down of operations. Addressing these challenges will ensure the continued utility and
reliability of cell culture across the biological sciences. Join The Scientist for a webinar on this increasingly important topic.

WEBINAR SPONSORED BY:ONDEMAND
WEBINAR SPONSORED BY:Since 1981, when Sir Martin Evans was the fi rst to identify embryonic stem cells in mice, stem cells have been at the center of the drive to revolutionize
medicine and the drug discovery process. In 1998, human embryonic stem cells were grown in a lab, and the fi eld was further boosted in 2006 with
the pivotal discovery of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell techniques, which removed the need to destroy embryos. But stem cell research has always
involved hurdles and controversy. How far has research come since the fi rst groundbreaking reports were published? For further insight into ongoing
challenges in the stem cell arena, the mechanisms and roadblocks encountered in iPS cell technology, and the grand opportunity stem cells represent,
The Scientist is bringing together a panel of experts who will share their research, explore the latest fi ndings on cellular reprogramming, and discuss next
steps.
