From one cell to another: Can you hear me now?
Research in cell signaling, or how cells perceive and respond to their environment, is necessary for a wide range of diseases including cancer, autoimmunity, and diabetes. In this 1-day workshop, join OHSU researchers that study the fascinating interactions between cells in biomedical laboratories. Explore how individual cells signal to one another, how cells sense and respond to the world around them, and how researchers study these microscopic interactions. Your day will include an introductory lecture on the basics of cellular signaling, some hands-on experience with standard laboratory techniques, and a tour of two OHSU labs.
