3^nd Protein Rainbow Workshop – BioPlex Technology: Multiplicating ELISA

The annual training school will take place from 2^nd to 4^th of May 2011 at the Institute of Clinical Biochemistry and Pathobiochemistry, German Diabetes Center.

It is intended to introduce, improve and expand practice and knowledge of state-of-the-art technologies for protein quantification using BioPlex-system. The course agenda covers theoretical and practical aspects ranging from study design, specific sample preparation to protein profiling and data analysis.

As special highlight the course will be followed by a User Meeting focusing on BioPlex technology. This activity will offer a dedicated platform to gather and exchange most recent information between scientists from different research areas. In this context again it is planned to publish a special issue of APB (Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry; Informa Healthcare) comprising a representative cross-section of recent research related to BioPlex analysis.
