Presented By: • Katherine Walter • Speaker Biography: • Katherine Walter is a field applications scientist residing in Kansas City, Missouri specializing in sequencing and laser capture microdissection methodologies. Her background has been heavily focused on cancer research, with a PhD in Cancer Biology and over a decade of wet-lab work focusing on transcription regulation of immune signaling pathways in breast cancer. In her free time when she is not traveling for work, she enjoys playing with her two dogs and attending Chiefs and Royals games with her husband, John. • Webinar: • How to Leverage Laser Capture Microdissection Technology for Advanced Oncology Research • Webinar Abstract: • Understanding genomic variation in the context of cancer is paramount to identifying disease drivers and informing personalized treatment for patients. Tumor heterogeneity presents a challenge in oncology research as conventional methods for studying gene expression look at the tumor as a whole, ignoring the complexities of the many cell types involved in cancer progression. Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) with the Arcturus Cellect system allows for the isolation of specific tissues and cell types from histology cross sections as well as from live cell cultures. The flexibility of the dual-laser system offers the ability to isolate various sizes of tissue, spanning from large sections of the tumor down to single-cell capture which can then be used for genomic analysis. • • LabRoots on Social: • Facebook: / labrootsinc • Twitter: / labroots • LinkedIn: / labroots • Instagram: / labrootsinc • Pinterest: / labroots • SnapChat: labroots_inc
