Genetic Profiling for Blood Brain Barrier Diseases -- Life in Real-time with Dr. Joel Patcher
Dr. Joel Pachter, Professor of Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut Health Center discusses how he was able genetically profile micro-vessels to monitor changes during the progression of inflammatory disease such as Multiple Sclerosis. Take a look at how Dr. Pachter used the Life Technologies laser capture microdissection (LCM)/qPCR workflow to get a better understanding of how to begin to develop pharmacatherapies to address diseases associated with the blood brain barrier.
The ArcturusXT™ LCM System is for research use only, and is not intended for animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use.
