8:00am–3:00pm Cellomics User Group Meeting
This user group meeting will be a forum for you to interact with other scientists who are using HCS as a tool for furthering their discovery efforts. Submit an abstract to present what your laboratory is doing with
HCS, or attend to learn how your colleagues are optimizing their HCS experience. We will have oral and poster presentations by leading scientists in the industry. All Cellomics customers are welcome to attend. For more information on this event or to register to attend, please contact us at

3:30–6:00pm Tutorial
(Separate registration is required)
More Effective RNAi Studies with High-Content Screening
Mr. Joseph A. Zock, Senior Manager, HCS User Services, Cellomics, Inc.
The promise of using RNAi to deconvolve complex signaling pathways and cellular processes requires detection methods robust enough to deal with variability in transfection frequency and percent knockdown. High-Content Screening
(HCS) technology is uniquely suited to this goal by quantitatively measuring multiple target intensity and morphology changes in individual cells of a given experimental population. The combination of HCS and RNAi provides a powerful platform for drug discovery. In this tutorial session you will learn the basics of
HCS, how it works, and what unique features are being used to gather more effective data from RNAi experiments. We will also touch on analysis of RNAi effects, both primary and off-target, using multiple HCS endpoints.

| The IN Cell Launch Party provides an opportunity for customers to meet
GE Healthcare scientists and view our newest instrument, software and reagent product launches. This includes our upgraded IN Cell Analyzer 1000
instrument, inclusive of confocal module; our latest exciting reagent launches focused on Ad-A-Gene viral vector reagents; and our latest
software modules. The launch party will be an informal cocktail party held
directly following the CHI End User Forum, on Tuesday evening at the impressive Presidential suite at the Fairmont Hotel. |

More Imaging: New Options for the MDC Total Imaging Solution
Attend the First Annual MDC Imaging User Forum! At this user forum Molecular Devices will introduce the components of our Total High-content Imaging solution and announce several new developments! The forum will also include in-depth discussions of image acquisition and analysis software, imaging hardware options and turnkey assay-specific analysis modules from both end-users and MDC experts. High-content screening with fixed and live cell-based assays provides extensive multi-parametric cellular data. However, successful implementation or HCS requires a complete, turnkey environment from image acquisition through to data management. This forum will give attendees a complete perspective of HCS implementation.

Advanced Biological Exploration and Screening Using the BD Pathway Bioimager
This workshop will allow both users of the BD Pathway Bioimager and those interested in high content imaging to gather and discuss new applications and methods in imaging. The workshop will explore current topics in high content imaging and will introduce users to recent advances in hardware, software and reagents. A special emphasis will be given to assay development and advanced imaging techniques (e.g. kinetic and confocal imaging) to get the most out of automated imaging instrumentation.
