Training courses | Learn more about real-time interaction analysis
We can help you understand more about biological interactions in real-time and how to get the most out of your LigandTracer experiments. Learn more about assay set-up, data analysis and kinetic binding models. We have decades of experience with time-resolved interaction analysis, such as cell-based and SPR, and are happy to share our knowledge. We offer courses, both on-site courses and adapted courses for your team.
On-site course in interaction analysis for LigandTracer in Uppsala
Overview
Our on-site course typically runs once per year in Uppsala, Sweden and gives you a thorough understanding of cell-based interaction analysis with LigandTracer. The course includes wet-lab exercises, discussions, group lunches and dinners, as well as lectures, examples and practical data evaluation sessions. The on-site course dives deeper than the online version of the course, facilitates discussions and provides individual help in data analysis sessions. To create a good learning atmosphere with stimulating discussions the course runs with 5-10 participants. This course is ideal for researchers that want to further specialize in cell-based interaction analysis with LigandTracer. Topics covered are the following:
- Assay set-up and practical aspects of LigandTracer measurements
- Wet-lab on how to prepare cell dishes suitable for LigandTracer measurements (adherent, semi-adherent and suspension cells)
- Wet-lab on how to run a typical LigandTracer measurement
- Kinetic theory and cell-based real-time measurements
- Data pre-processing
- 1:1 binding model: how to interpret the result and when to include technical corrections (e.g. concentration dependent non-specific signals (BI) and depletion)
- Advanced kinetic models: when to choose them and how to interpret them in a biological context
- Beyond single binding assays: how to set-up and analyse complex assay formats (e.g. competition, internalization, and cell-cell interactions; can be adapted based on participants)
- Application Focus: several applications with examples are presented and discussed (selection is dependent on participants)
