Program
Join us for an engaging scientific workshop centred on advancing cancer drug testing methodologies through cutting-edge high-content screening (HCS) platforms. Our workshop aims to explore the dynamic interplay between macro and micro perspectives in cancer drug testing, focusing on the pivotal role of multicellular spheroids. These 3D cellular models mimic the complex microenvironments of tumours more accurately than traditional 2D cultures, providing invaluable insights into drug responses and tumour behaviour. Throughout the workshop, participants will delve into the latest advancements in HCS technology, leveraging sophisticated imaging and analysis techniques to decipher intricate cellular interactions from macroscopic views to microscopic insights. Distinguished speakers from academia, industry, and research institutes will share their expertise, presenting innovative approaches, case studies, and practical insights into the design and implementation of HCS platforms.
