The course will offer a complete review of knowledge and technology on the adeno-associated (AAV)-, baculovirus (BV)- and lentiviral (LV)-based vectors for gene therapy.
With the EMBO
Eurolabcourse in Evry (France) in 2002 we started a series of courses
with a new training format which combines a symposium
open to all (plenary lectures, selected oral communications, poster
sessions and round table discussions) with a practical
course
for 25 participants selected on application. This format allows
maximal interactivity between the participants coming from research
institutions of academia and industry, health organizations, regulatory
agencies and patients’ associations from many countries
worldwide. On one hand, the students and young researchers who
participated in our previous courses
implemented rapidly their career thanks to the new knowledge acquired.
Many are now team leaders, invited speakers in the meetings and/or
organizers of events in their countries. On the other hand, the
industries got opportunities of new business in exploiting innovations
from academia and extend their marketing area.
The Symposium, August 26 - 29, 2010 will present vectorology concepts, different vectors families, discuss their characteristics including transduction efficiency, host genome interaction, toxicity, perspectives of clinical applications and industrial/commercial exploitations
In the EMBO Practical course, August 30 – September 4, 2010 laboratory sessions to 25 selected participants who will learn how produce, purify, and characterise AAV, BV and LV vectors including their biological properties and functional assessment in vivo
The course will provide thus the opportunity to:
Attend didactic, state-of-the-art research talks
Meet world-class scientists and discuss with them during poster sessions, lunches/coffees breaks and social event
Practice complex technologies with experts
