Join us on Thursday, November 7 at Cambia Grove for insights and discoveries in the field of Microbiome research. Network with peers and learn from lead researchers and colleagues. Appetizers and beverages will be served.
 
Seattle was recently identified as the fastest-growing life science market in the top 10 from 2014 to 2017, showing tremendous growth in collaborations between the research community and biotech companies.
 
<A HREF="http://productcreationstudio.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Product Creation Studio</A> — in partnership with <A HREF="https://research.fhcrc.org/shou/en.html" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s Shou Lab</A> — is hosting an event based on their research of microbial communities. 
 
For this event, Dr. Li Xie and Dr. David Skelding will cover both the theoretical and practical progress in the current research conducted in Dr. Wenying Shou’s lab. The Shou Lab is exploring the use of artificial selection, also known as directed evolution, to improve “community functions.” Some community functions are extremely useful, such as fighting off pathogens, synthesizing pharmaceuticals and degrading environmental pollutants.
 
In this 3-part presentation, you will learn: 
<UL>
<LI>Various approaches for improving desirable functions of microbial communities</LI>
<LI>How to “breed” desirable microbial communities through artificial selection</LI>
<LI>How mathematical analysis and computer simulation can guide the design of experiments</LI>
<LI>How to automate your experiments …lessons learned through robotic systems development in the Shou Lab</LI>
<LI>The newest research and findings from Shou Lab to discuss with like-minded professionals</LI>
</UL>
 
Whether you’re a scientist or a biotech engineer looking to solve problems using microbiomes or artificial selection, you’re sure to gain value from this unique opportunity. This series is designed for senior biotech engineers and scientists who design and carry out research at their companies.
