Open Lectures of the Phenotypic Fingerprinting school – PRP@CERIC project
A training opportunity promoted by Area Science Park, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, ICGEB and CNR
MODULE 1: Host-pathogen interaction models and HTS imaging
Subject
Many metabolic pathways are involved in host cell response to infection, such as glycolysis, TCA cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, amino acid synthesis, fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, lipidome and proteome changes. The aim of the Phenotypic Fingerprinting school is to shed light on fingerprints of the cellular metabolic pathways perturbed by infection and drug-response by exploiting complementary approaches and fostering their integration. Hints of techniques for the preparation of biological substrates will be also given. The school is promoted by Area Science Park in collaboration with Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology – ICGEB and the National Research Council – CNR, as part of the activities of the “Pathogen Readiness Platform for CERIC-ERIC Upgrade” – PRP@CERIC project.
The following seven thematic modules will be addressed during the school: 1) Host-pathogen interaction models and high-throughput screening (HTS) imaging; 2) Genomics advancements through -omics NGS approaches: from DNA to single cell transcriptome; 3) Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) biomechanical imaging; 4) Micro- and nano-machining for biology; 5) Infrared (IR) chemical cytology (cellular imaging); 6) Ultraviolet (UV) – Raman chemical cytology (cellular imaging); 7) Data analysis, integration, and management.
For each of the first six modules, selected internationally recognized invited speakers, with sector-specific skills and expertise, will provide a theoretical overview offering a perspective of the field.
The lessons held by the invited speakers will be open to interested people and will be available in hybrid mode, in person at the Area Science Park Convention Centre and remotely via the Microsoft Teams platform.
