CRISPR Guide RNA Libraries for Functional Genomics Screening: Do You Know What’s in
Your Library?
Dr. Carsten Carstens
Agilent Technologies, Eldan Electronic Instruments Co.Ltd.
Screening of CRISPR libraries, either as a knock-out or as a CRISPR A/I approach, has become
a very powerful tool for functional genomics approaches to gene function discovery. The quality
of the library screen is strongly dependent on the quality of the input library. Based on
Agilent’s capability to synthesize up to 2.44 x 105 high quality defined DNA oligomers of 230
nt in length in a single reaction, we have developed novel chemistries, and novel, overlap-based
cloning method and workflows necessary for generating high quality, low-bias plasmid libraries.
The session will present the procedures and tools required to generate highest quality plasmid
libraries from complex oligomer pools.
08:00
Integrated Tools for Sensitive NGS Analysis of ccfDNA
Katja Schreiter
Ph.D., Market Development Manager BRC & NGS Commercial Partners EMEA QIAGEN, Eldan
Electronic Instruments Co.Ltd.
Next generation sequencing analysis of free circulating DNA from plasma has quickly been
adopted for cancer testing as well as for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). For cancer
patients, this method enables the noninvasive diagnosis of actionable mutants to select a
personalized anti-tumor therapy and could be used to monitor molecular changes upon cancer
treatment or during tumor progression. The concentration of free circulating DNA in liquid
biopsies usually is very low, which makes it very important to apply optimized protocols for
cfDNA extraction as well as NGS DNA library construction to successfully establish robust test
systems.
In this scientific talk, we will introduce new technical solutions for Ion Torrent as well as
Illumina sequencing platforms that combine optimized cfDNA isolation, highly advanced
library construction, unbiased library amplification and integrated data analysis to sensitively
and reliably analyze cfDNA samples.

RNA-Seq as an Efficient Tool for Gene Expression Profiling QuantSeq: High Multiplexing,
Sensitivity, and Reproducibility with Lowest Costs and Efforts
Birgit Steinmetz
Product Manager at Lexogen-Zotal
With the discontinuation of microarray systems and the rapid development of NGS
technologies, and declining sequencing costs, attention is now on RNA-Seq as the method-ofchoice for gene expression (GEX) profiling.
Lexogen’s QuantSeq 3’ mRNA-Seq system offers a comprehensive and highly affordable
solution for whole transcriptome GEX analyses: With a price from USD 19.80 per library prep
and sequencing costs from USD 5.00 per sample, easy handling, and an all-in-one express
protocol that is suitable for high throughput screening QuantSeq enables exceptionally precise
and cost-effective gene expression experiments.
Since only 1 fragment per transcript is generated, FPKM calculations are unnecessary, and a
recommended read depth of 2-5 million short, single-end reads per sample is sufficient for
expression profiling of eukaryotic transcriptomes.

The Power of 3D-Biology™: Simultaneous Detection of DNA, RNA, and Proteins
Rudy van Eijsden, Ph.D. Field Application Specialist, nanoString Technologies
The digital NanoString nCounter® technology enables you to count up to 800 molecules per
sample in a highly multiplexed fashion. To meet the need for multi-analyte profiling in for
example tumor biology, NanoString Technologies has expanded its single-molecule digital
barcoding system to recognize DNA, RNA, fusions, proteins and phospho-proteins
simultaneously from the same sample with its 3D Biology™ technology. Detection of DNA
(e.g. SNVs), RNA, or proteins alone can provide significant information, but when data from
multiple experiments are merged the integrated results can lead to novel hypotheses or more
solid conclusions. Examples will be presented how 3D Biology™ can add extreme value to your
research. Less sample, more data, easy to analyze!

High Resolution Live Cell Imaging
Hosted by: Dan Kaganovich, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
The tremendous advances of the past decade in live cell and super resolution imaging, as well as
computational and biophysical methods, have sparked renewed interest in nano-scale (or mesoscale) cellular organization, it is the current frontier of cell biological research, promising
important breakthroughs in understanding cell viability and pathology. A great deal of evidence
now suggests that at the nano-scale the cytosol is not a mere inchoate jumble of occasionally
colliding components, but rather an extremely crowded and exquisitely organized medium, in
which the correlated transport, co-localization, and catalytic coordination of various
macromolecular components underlies a high degree of functional complexity. In this round

Transparent Publishing, Preprints & Open Science: how to share reproducible data
Hosted by: Bernd Pulverer, EMBO
Scientific progress depends on efficient mechanisms to select, quality control, archive, share and
find reliable and reproducible research. The research paper remains the predominant mode of
sharing peer-reviewed research findings, and a subset of scientific journals play important roles
also as a proxy for quality and impact in research assessment. In this roundtable Bernd Pulverer
will discuss how the editorial and peer review process at highly selective journals can be
reformed to assess both the interest and quality of the claims made by a researcher, and also the
reliability, reproducibility and integrity of the experimental data.Tuesday, February 21, 2017

Razelle Kurzrock
Dr. Razelle Kurzrock is known for developing the largest Phase 1 clinical trials
department in the nation/world while at the University of Texas M.D. anderson
Cancer Center. A central theme of that program was the personalized medicine
strategy, embodied in a protocol called PREDICT for Profile-related Evidence
Determining individualized Cancer therapy. This approach utilized advanced
molecular technologies to match patients with targeted cancer treatment that is more
likely to work for their individual tumors. At Moores Cancer Center, Dr. Kurzrock’s
charge is broad, including not just growing and innovating the center’s clinical trials program, but also
heading its newly established Center for Personalized Cancer therapy. This center focuses on precision
medicine trials, using the most innovative genomically-targeted drugs and/or agents that arm the
immune system. As a physician-scientist, Dr. Kurzrock brings extraordinary expertise and experience in
clinical research, business operations, regulatory operations, financial and budget planning, and
administrative oversight, in addition to her world-recognized work in translational science. Dr. Kurzrock
is also Chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology in the UC San Diego School of
Medicine. Dr. Kurzrock received her MD degree from the University of Toronto and has over 650
peer-reviewed publications and a uniquely strong record of competitive grant funding within the setting
of Phase I program building.
Dr. Kurzrock also has a strong history of building outstanding education/training programs. At
University of Texas MD anderson Cancer Center, she founded and directed the MS/PhD program
(degree granting) in Human Biology and Patient-Based Research, as well as the Fellowship in
