Follow on Google News | CYTOO is Official Sponsor of the First Edition of the World Cell RaceBy: CYTOO Cell Architects “The idea came to us during the last ASCB* meeting where it appeared that the community working on cell migration was larger than ever. I have always been keen to mix both fun and serious science”, said Manuel Théry, one of the 3 organizers of the event. “I was amazed and encouraged by the enthusiasm it immediately raised in the scientific community.” Any laboratory may participate in the cell race. Genetic modifications are allowed and even encouraged. The cells will run on the fibronectin coated tracks that will be fabricated by CYTOO. The final speed that will be registered will correspond to the most rapid cell covering the official distance of 100 µm. The videos of the race will be shown and prizes will be given out during the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in Denver, Colorado (Dec 3-7, 2011). The pre-registration of contestants is open.
