Sunday, October 20 3:30 pm / Monday, October 21 10:00 am
Detection of Neurofilament Light and Heavy Chain (NF-L/ NF-H) as Potential Biomarkers of Axonal Injury
Yoav Noam, Ph.D. - Scientist, Simple Plex

Learn how Ella, our automated ELISA platform, can be utilized for the accurate and sensitive detection of neurodegeneration biomarkers in biological samples. We will focus on Ella’s Neurofilament Light (NFL) and Neurofilament Heavy (NFH) assays using real-life examples from recent unpublished studies and will explore the potential of these assays for early detection of axonal injury in human blood samples.

Lighting (and Exciting) the Way – New Tools for Chemogenetics, Next-Gen Fluorescent Imaging and Optopharmacology
Robert Felix, Ph.D. - Head of Product Management, Tocris

Hear about the new and exciting chemical probes available from Tocris and the latest compounds for designer receptors and ion channels. Learn about how Tocris is developing small molecules conjugated to the super bright Janelia Fluor^® dyes to generate fluorogenic probes suitable for super-resolution microscopy. Understand how novel compounds, including photoswitchable ligands and false-fluorescent neurotransmitters, can complement your existing optogenetic tools.

Monday, October 21 3:30 pm / Wednesday, October 23 3:30 pm
Multiplexed Protein Detection in Heterogeneous Neural Cell Subpopulations with Single-Cell Westerns
Kevin Flynn, Ph.D. – R&D Manager, Cell & Gene Therapy

Single-Cell Western blotting can measure protein expression in neurons and other neural cells that may be hard to examine using flow cytometry or to quantify using immunofluorescence. In this talk, we discuss how the Single-Cell Western blotting platform, Milo, can be used for multiplexed protein detection in heterogeneous neural cell subpopulations. Milo identifies subpopulations like neural progenitor cells, astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes in a mixed population and can quantify differentiation efficiency and protein expression heterogeneity in neural samples.

Optimizing Raw Materials for Manufacturing iPSC-Derived Neuronal Therapies
Kevin Flynn, Ph.D. – R&D Manager, Cell & Gene Therapy

As cell and gene therapy options to combat neurodegenerative disease continue to show promise, new focus is being directed toward more efficient, innovative, and cost-effective methods for commercial-scale manufacturing. Using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons as a case study, this session will discuss the importance of raw material optimization from research to translation, including early incorporation of GMP small molecules, growth factors and media supplements.

Sunday, October 20 10:00 am / Tuesday, October 22 3:30 pm
Visualize the RNA World in the Nervous System: Spatial Mapping with Single-Cell Resolution Using the RNAscope™ In Situ Hybridization Technology
Morgane Rouault, Ph.D. - Senior Applications Scientist

Learn how the RNAscope™ and BaseScope™ in situ hybridization (ISH) assays can allow you to spatially map gene expression targeting RNA sequences directly in fresh frozen, fixed frozen, and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cells and tissues with single-cell resolution. We will focus on the multiplexing capabilities of the RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent assay and the new RNAscope HiPlex assay, with simultaneous detection of up to 12 targets, as well as the detection of specific splice variants using the BaseScope assay.
