Workshop Dates: Feb 6-10, 2012 Workshop Cost: $2400

This 5-day workshop is great for those wanting to express recombinant protein in the baculovirus expression vector (BEV) system. We will cover the growth of insect cells, plaque assays, titering, amplification of recombinant virus and protein expression strategies. As usual this class is for those at all levels of expertise, although basic molecular biology and recombinant DNA experience is preferred. The class will contain both laboratory and lectures.

The BioSciConcepts workshops are designed to provide a solid understanding of specific topics through classroom presentation and laboratory work. Clients will gain significant experience in the performance of laboratory techniques taught in each workshop. Through integrated learning methods, utilizing hands-on training to reinforce lecture material, clients will be able to apply information learned in BioSciConcepts workshops into applications in their own laboratories. At the end of the workshop we will conduct a full workshop review, and data troubleshooting session.
