The session will cover workflows for Antibody Di scovery and T Cell Profiling applications\; including cytotoxicity\, cell surface and cytokine profiling\, cell–cell interaction assays\, and clon e recovery for downstream sequencing and engineering. \nThe Beacon® platf orm enables researchers to sort and analyze tens of thousands of live cell s with a variety of functional assays over time. Cell sorting is accomplis hed with light\, preserving cell health and allowing for the creation of c omplex co-cultures. Analysis is done in single-cell microfluidic chambers\ , unlocking the ability to measure complex biology at single cell resoluti on. Assays are performed on live cells\, and data is captured over-time to provide dynamic and longitudinal insights. Finally\, single cells are col lected post-assay for scale-up or downstream molecular analysis. These int egrated capabilities have accelerated development of therapeutics\, diagno stics\, and reagents\; and has identified novel biomarkers for complex bio logics. Attendees will leave the seminar understanding: \n\nThe Beacon Pla tform’s Technical Capabilities and Applications\nAntibody Discovery & BC R/TCR Repertoire Analysis – Sequencing B cells to develop antibodies aga inst known and novel /unknown antigens in one day\nCell-Cell Interaction A nalysis – Characterizing T cell cytotoxicity\, cytokine secretion\, cell surface protein expression\, and cell motility in live cell co-cultures t o understand functionality of CARs/TCRs/BiTEs\nFunctional Biology + Spatia l Biology – A case study interrogating functional TCRs in a patient tumo r and spatially mapping T cell receptors to understand cancer  pathology\ n\nSpeakers:\nJoseph Valdez\, Ph.D. | Technical Sales Manager\nDr. Valdez accelerates researchers’ goals by translating their operations onto the Beacon.

Many species o ccur only in Florida and nearby areas\, where they grow in sandy habitats like scrub and sandhills. Because most species are rare or endangered\, un derstanding how they evolved and where they occur is important for conserv ation. DNA data from all 24 species were used to build a family tree showi ng how these plants are related. The group appears to have originated in the Florida Panhandle\, especially around the Apalachicola River region\, and began diversifying about 2.5 million years ago. Modeling of past and p resent habitats suggests these plants have long been associated with the G ulf Coast\, even as climates changed. Areas with especially high numbers of unique species include the Apalachicola region and the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. Looking ahead\, climate models suggest that about 63% of scrub min t species may lose suitable habitat\, especially those in peninsular Flori da\, highlighting the need for targeted conservation efforts. \n\n\n\n\n\n Dr. Andre Naranjo with Longspur balm (Dicerandra cornutissima).\n\n\n\n\n\ nPresenter: \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Naranjo’s research focuses on the phylogenet ics\, biogeography and conservation of plants in the North American Coasta l Plain and Caribbean biodiversity hotspots. His work integrates evolution ary biology\, ecological modeling and botanical collections to better unde rstand the origins and preservation of tropical and subtropical plant dive rsity. He is also dedicated to science outreach and mentorship\, engaging primary\, secondary and undergraduate students to increase awareness of en dangered ecosystems and species throughout South Florida and the broader C aribbean region. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our website 48 hours after the event.

Her work aims to expa nd the objects and methods of art history by focusing on the nature and ac tions of both material and ephemeral art objects\; the sensory systems inv olved in perception and reception\; the concept of abstraction\; and the g endered bias of art historical formalism and modernist medium-specificity. The multi-disciplinary nature of Professor Andrew’s research has led her to probe disciplinary assumptions and traditions that separate the study of the arts and humanities.

Whether you are working with PCR and qPCR\, NGS\, genomics\, cell-based assays\, s ample preparation\, assay development\, plate-based workflows\, reagent di spensing\, normalization\, dilution series\, or another application\, we c an discuss how automation could potentially fit into your process.The goal is to help answer questions such as:– What parts of my current workflow can realistically be automated?– When does automation make sense and wh en does it not?– How can automation improve reproducibility and consiste ncy?– Can automation help reduce hands-on time or increase throughput? – How do you translate an existing manual protocol into an automated wor kflow?– What should a lab consider before implementing liquid handling a utomation?An Eppendorf automated liquid handling platform will be availabl e so attendees can see the technology and discuss specific applications wi th the team.Following the Lunch & Learn\, from approximately 1 – 1:30 PM \, Eppendorf will host a more focused 20-30 minute educational presentatio n in the conference room covering the fundamentals of laboratory automatio n\, common applications\, workflow development\, and considerations when t ransitioning from manual pipetting to automated liquid handling. Meet with Phillip Tender and Taylor Smith of Eppendorf.Terrie Gunter of USA Scienti fic will also be onsite during the event to meet with attendees and suppor t discussions around laboratory workflows\, consumables\, and automation a pplications.About our speakers:Philip TendlerPhilip Tendler supports labor atory automation and floor model centrifugation technologies throughout th e Southeastern United States for Eppendorf North America. With a graduate background in molecular genetics from the University of Georgia and experi ence working with academic\, biotechnology\, pharmaceutical\, and research laboratories\, Philip focuses on helping scientists evaluate technologies that can improve workflow efficiency\, reproducibility\, throughput\, and overall laboratory productivity.Taylor SmithTaylor Smith is an Applicatio n Integration Specialist with Eppendorf North America\, specializing in au tomated liquid handling applications and workflow development. Taylor work s directly with scientists to understand existing laboratory protocols\, i dentify opportunities for automation\, and translate manual processes into reliable automated workflows. During the event\, Taylor will be available to discuss individual applications and the practical considerations invol ved in developing automated methods. Thank you to our sponsors:  —— —————UF Innovate | AccelerateUF Innovate | Accelerate is the Uni versity of Florida’s entrepreneurship support program that includes Sid Martin Biotech\, the globally recognized biotechnology incubator located i n Progress Park in Alachua\, Florida\, and The Hub\, the globally recogniz ed diversified tech incubator located in Gainesville’s Innovation Distri ct.
