Instruct PartnerRegistration is open for the PRP@CERIC project and Area Science Park School of Phenotypic Fingerprinting, taking place in Trieste, Italy, 14-25 October and 18-29 November.
Many metabolic pathways are involved in host cell response to infection, such as glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, amino acid synthesis, fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, lipidome and proteome changes. The aim of the school is to shed light on fingerprints of the cellular metabolic pathways perturbed by infection and drug-response by exploiting complementary approaches and fostering their integration. Hints of techniques for the preparation of biological substrates will be also given.
Theorical lessons will introduce the practical sessions on high-throughput screening (HTS) by cell imaging, Infrared (IR) chemical imaging, Ultraviolet (UV) - resonant Raman chemical imaging and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) biomechanical imaging and data analysis, with the aim to build a multi-dimensional reference space for host-pathogen interaction. At the end of the school, participants will acquire theoretical-practical skills relating to the topics addressed in the modules included in the scientific program.
The following seven thematic modules will be addressed during the school:
Each module will include approximately 20/24 hours of lessons, except for the seventh module which will last approximately 10 hours.
To apply by 26 July, please submit the below form, motivation letter (max 1 page), and an educational and/or professional CV (max 4 pages) to chiara.devita@areasciencepark.it.
