Introduction to Wound Healing and Migration Assays
Course Objectives
Level: Beginner
Cell migration occurs during many important physiological processes. For example, controlled cell migration permits embryonic development, tissue injury, and wound healing. In contrast, cell migration can be dysregulated in many pathological situations, such as cancer metastasis or inflammation. Wound healing and migration assays are therefore widely used approaches for the study of migration patterns under different conditions, allowing us to get a deeper understanding of how our cells interact and function.
This course will introduce you to the different aspects of setting up experiments to investigate cell migration. First, you will learn about the biological relevance of migration, including physiological examples. Then, we will cover different types of migration applications and the solutions currently available to explore them, with a special focus on the ibidi Culture-Inserts.
After the course, you will have a deeper understanding of the many migration applications available, plus a direct workflow description for initiating your first Wound Healing experiments using ibidi Culture-Inserts.
No sterile working benches or cells are required to participate. Attend the course from the comfort of your office or home.

Target Group
This course is intended for scientists and technical associates who have experience with cell culture and sterile working techniques and want to establish wound healing experiments using ibidi Culture-Inserts.
What Our Participants Say
"The Wound Healing and Migration Assays course was really great! I got to know new techniques which I intend to implement in my current work as a PhD student. The course was well structured and the introduction to cell migration was very helpful to remember the important basics. Louise took the time to answer all the questions and we also discussed possible applications and experimental setups, which was really helpful for me."
