The NCI Angiogenesis Core Facility is sponsoring a hands-on four day training course on analytical techniques used to assess the in vitro/in vivo growth of blood vessel and lymphatic endothelial cells (October 29th-November 1st, 2007). The course will be structured to have a combination of wet labs and lectures covering this subject matter. Hands-on operational training of the following techniques will be covered: 1) Chorioallantoic Membrane Assay (CAM), 2) Rat Aortic Ring Assay, 3) Directed In Vivo Angiogenesis Assay (DIVAA), 4) Endothelial Cell Migration Assay and 5) Endothelial Cell Tube Formation Assay. Given that it will be held at the NIH/Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) located at the “Old Cloisters Building” on the main Bethesda campus, limited seating will be available (20) and participants will be enrolled on a first come/first served bases. Registration for the course will be $850.00/individual. The course director and contact person is Dr. Enrique Zudaire (<zudairee@mail.nih.gov>, 301/496-8050). For administrative questions contact Mark Nardone, Director of the Biotrac program.
