IMGENEX Webinar On TLRs - Key Molecules Bridging Innate Adaptive Immunity ( 8:00 am )

PRESENTED BY: Dr. Jonathan Rosenberg, Corporate Development, IMGENEX Corporation
DATE & TIME:  September 1, 2010 (Wednesday) at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM Pacific Time

OVERVIEW
This initial webinar will present research applications for reagents to Toll-like Receptors and other related products which are part of the extensive IMGENEX TLRSystem™ product portfolio. Topics include:

• Toll-Like Receptor Family Overview
• TLR Phenotyping by Flow Cytometry
• Dendritic Cell - T Cell Immunoregulatory Network
• TLR Signaling Pathways
• TLR Screening Techniques using TLR/NF-kB SEAPorter™ stable reporter cell lines

The webinar is designed to provide useful information for individuals involved in studying immune and inflammation signaling pathways utilizing a variety of platforms.

ABSTRACT
Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) sense microbial and host pattern antigens and initiate immune response cascades through NF-kB and IRF signaling pathways. Analysis of Toll-like Receptors, MyD88 and adaptor molecules of the NF-kB pathway, Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and CD Markers provides opportunity for in depth understanding of the cells and pathways bridging Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses. Our studies will be presented as models for screening systems for new TLR ligand identification and their role in inflammation and immune cell signaling pathways.

Dear Delegate,

We invite you to join fellow environmental change leaders, policy-makers, and investors at our upcoming The Future of Bio-Based Chemicals – Inception to Marketplace conference on Sept. 13-14, 2010 in San Francisco, CA. The Bio-Based Chemical sector continues to gain recognition from large corporations, government officials, and consumers as a viable source of increased production of renewable chemicals, future job growth, small business development and stronger environmental awareness.

Join us for two-days of essential, timely, and informed presentations and panels addressing new technologies, investment trends, and updates on two feedstocks that continue to garner tremendous attention – Algae and Woody-Mass. In addition, discussions on future synergy among the bio-sectors, bio-refinery partnerships with petrol-refineries and ethanol plants, and updates on government policy will be included.

Don’t miss this special opportunity to share ideas, develop partnerships, and network with key start-ups, traditional oil-based companies, feedstock suppliers and investors passionate about continued growth and business development in the Bio-Based Chemical industry.

We look forward to meeting you in San Francisco in September.

Secrets Of Batch Process Scale-Up In Radisson Blu, Nice, France ( 9:00 am )

Ensuring Effective Translation of Laboratory Processes to Pilot Plant Scale

Course Aims & Objectives

To teach the practical aspects of designing a scaleable fine-chemical batch process and successfully implementing it at the kilo-lab and pilot plant scale, through an examination of the effects of large-scale operating methods and equipment limitations on process safety, operability, yield, selectivity and product quality.

About this course

Operating a commercially viable chemical process requires a good chemical synthesis to start with, but is also subject to the interplay of a myriad of important physical phenomena – heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid flow, etc. which are traditionally the realm of the chemical engineer. An understanding of these scale-up phenomena is crucial for the laboratory development of processes that will scale successfully.

This course presents an overview of these issues and examines their impact on process operation in the pilot plant and beyond, including scale-up considerations for route selection, raw material charging, reaction steps, workup, crystallization, product isolation, drying, etc. Common bench techniques for each of these steps are contrasted to the safety and operability criteria for successful pilot plant operation. Numerous examples and case histories are presented, along with tips and techniques for operators and experimenters. Heavy emphasis is placed on process safety.

An underlying goal of the course is improving communication and mutual understanding between development team members of different backgrounds; thus, the course is appropriate for synthetic chemists, process development chemists and process engineers with limited pilot plant experience who wish to learn more about the potential pitfalls of scale-up in process development. The course complements the more chemistry-focused Scientific Update course “Chemical Development and Scale-Up in the Fine Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries”.

Upon completion of the course, participants will be better equipped to:

  • Assess process safety and scaleability
  • Identify process operations that may be problematic on scale-up
  • Design processes that will minimize or avoid scale-up issues
  • Select operating methods and equipment for effective scale-up
  • Calculate heat removal rates and safe rates of addition of reagents
  • Determine mixing requirements for scale-up
  • Design crystallizations which can be successfully operated at scale
  • Predict the filterability of solid products upon scale-up
  • Minimize the effects of scale-up on yield, selectivity and product purity
