Training Content On the first day, you will practice basic culture methods using OrganoPlate 2-lane and 3-lane, and you will seed Caco-2 cells in the 3-lane to create tubular structures. On the second day, you will use the cultured cells to perform a Barrier integrity assay and cell staining. You will also practice actual image acquisition and analysis techniques using Molecular Devices' ImageXpress Micro Confocal. At the end of the second day, we are also planning a networking event. Culture example: https://mimetas.com/overview-mimetas-applications/perfused-gut-epithelium-tubules Analysis example: https://mimetas.com/page/assays#barrier Benefits We will give you two OrganoPlate 2-lane and 3-lane (worth a total of 100,000 yen).

In recent years, with the emergence of new drugs that have advanced mechanisms of action, particularly biopharmaceuticals, we are facing more sophisticated challenges in the early stages of drug discovery, such as proof of drug concept and high-content screening. For example, in drug concept proof, there is a demand for the visualization of a seamless drug delivery system from tissue sections to the cellular level, as well as intracellular DDS evaluation of biopharmaceuticals at the organelle level. Additionally, in high-content screening, there is a growing focus on using organoids, which are closer to the in vivo environment than traditional flat cultures, requiring highly accurate high-content analysis. Therefore, in this webinar, Leica and Molecular Devices will present the latest imaging solutions to address these challenges. Date and Time: September 22, 2022 (Thursday) 10:00-10:45, 14:00-14:45 (same content for both sessions) Participation Fee: Free Format: Online only (Capacity: 200 participants) Application Deadline: September 21, 2022 (Wednesday)

The organoid technology is gaining prominence in drug discovery research. We will hold a Japanese webinar where you can learn about the automation of culture through AI image analysis and the reduction of drug discovery risks through the utilization of multimodal data, all in one session. We will introduce technologies that quantify organoid culture using AI image analysis, enabling autonomous passaging decisions, as well as the latest examples of data utilization that integrate multi-omics data from patient-derived organoids (PDOs) to predict drug responses with high accuracy, thereby reducing drug discovery risks. These advancements are expected to enhance research reproducibility and promote precision medicine. A Q&A session is also planned after the presentations. Presentation 1: Automation of organoid culture through quantification of culture conditions and autonomous passaging decisions using AI image analysis Koji Utagawa, Application Scientist, Molecular Devices Japan, Ph.D. in Science Presentation 2: Risk reduction in cancer drug projects using molecular and multi-omics data from organoids Toshiya Kondo, Scientific Business Consultant, Genedata AG, M.D.
