Focus on Pharmacology: Current Advances in Drug Metabolism Part 3

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Drug Metabolism and Disposition (DMDD)

Wednesday, June 22, 2022, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET

Description

The DMDD Quarterly Webinar Series is intended to stimulate idea exchange and communication among DMDD members and to promote career development of young scientists in the field of drug metabolism and disposition. Join us for this session where our featured junior scientists will discuss recent advancements in the pharmacology of targeting cytochrome P450 enzymes to treat human disease and a novel single-cell proteomics technology and its application in understanding drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

Focus on Pharmacology: RNAscope: RNA in Situ hybridization Made (Relatively) Easy

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Molecular Pharmacology (MP)

Wednesday, August 10, 2022, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET

This session will be about RNA in situ hybridization – a powerful alternative to immunohistochemistry. It allows you to determine which genes are expressed in specific cells or tissue. It is particularly useful when good antibodies for your protein are not available. The technique itself is not very new, but RNA in situ hybridization used to be a very tricky to perform. Because of that many people stay away from it. RNAscope changed that and made RNA in situ hybridization accessible to many labs. Many researchers wanting to know spatial expression of specific genes will benefit from this session. Pros and cons of this technique will be discussed, and members of the audience can ask the questions at the end.

Moderators

• Nina Tsvetanova, PhD, Duke University
• Angeline Lyon, PhD, Purdue University
