Training School “Experimental Models in Adhesion GPCR Research” takes place in October 2020

Key facts:

We are pleased to announce a virtual training school “Experimental Models in Adhesion GPCR Research” within COST action CA18240 “ADHEsion GPCR Network: Research and Implementation Set the path for future Exploration” (Adher‘n Rise). The school will be broadcasted via ClickMeeting platform. The training school is designed for PhD students and postdocs interested in aGPCR research.

The trainees will have a chance to learn about application of mammalian cell lines, primary human brain immune cells, worms and zebrafish as model systems in functional studies of aGPCRs. Furthermore, they will be offered training in state-of-the-art and traditional methodology associated with these models, such as targeted genome editing, small molecule screens, live imaging, and generation of antibodies and recombinant proteins.

Trainers:

  • Joerg Hamann (Amsterdam University Medical Centers, Amsterdam, Netherlands)
  • Samantha Hughes (Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen, Nijmegen, Netherlands)
  • Hsi-Hsien Lin (Graduate Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chang-Gung University College of Medicine, Tainan, Taiwan)
  • Kelly Monk (Vollum Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, USA)

Organizer: Katarina Trajkovic (Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences – MedILS, Split, Croatia)

REGISTRATION is free of charge and unlimited, with the entire content of the school accessible to all registered trainees. However, active participation in the chat room will be reserved for a limited number of 20 (preferably junior) trainees. Engagement in the chat room will be granted on a first-come-first served base during the registration process. Only participants of the chat room will be entitled to a training school certificate.
