Characterization of Cell Therapy Products by Flow and Laser Force Cytometry
The goal is to develop a 3 day short course (“Characterization of Cell Therapy Products by Flow and Laser Force Cytometry”) targeting multiple levels of current and future workforce.
Categories
Incumbent worker training
Project status
100% Completed
Industry Need
Traditional methods to assess infectivity, including the end-point dilution assay (TCID50) and viral plaque assay, are slow, labor intensive, and can vary depending upon the skill and experience of the user.
Solution
Provide education for the rapid detection and quantification of viral infection in the context of improving the development and production of vaccines.
Outputs/Deliverables
Development of a 3 day short course to provide the fundamentals of two cell characterization technologies (flow cytometry, laser force cytology) in relation to cell therapy (50/50 lecture/hands-on).
Impacts
This course is designed to provide the fundamentals of flow cytometry, laser force cytology in relation to cell therapy targeting multiple levels of current and future workforce.
Course content delivery in two main components: “Lectures” and “Hands-on Experiments” to facilitate advanced learning and application to cell characterization.
