Webinar: Bioluminescent Assay Technologies for Studying Cell Signaling

In this webinar, we will explore the world of bioluminescence in assay development. We will cover three key areas:

1. Bioluminescent Assay Fundamentals: Gain a deep understanding of the core principles underlying bioluminescence and its significance in crafting cutting-edge assays.
2. Bioluminescent assays in Drug Discovery: Delve into the practical applications of bioluminescent biochemical assays, with a focus on detecting activity of PTM enzymes like methyltransferases and kinases. Real-world examples will illustrate their pivotal role in accelerating drug discovery efforts.
3. Lumit: A Novel Homogeneous Immunoassay: Dive into the cutting-edge Lumit technology, a bioluminescent homogeneous cell-based immunoassay, and explore its potential in detecting phosphorylation events within cell signaling pathways.
 

Speaker: Hicham Zegzouti, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist 3, Group Leader, Assay Design - Promega Corporation

Dr. Hicham Zegzouti is a Senior Research Scientist in Promega Assay Design-R&D. His group develops biochemical and cell-based assay technologies to interrogate diverse enzyme activities and cellular pathways (kinases, glycosyltransferases, and other drug targets). Dr. Zegzouti received his PhD in 1997 from the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, France. Prior to joining Promega, he was a postdoctoral researcher in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology at UC-Los Angeles studying auxin hormone signaling in an Arabidopsis plant model. His work focused on the identification and characterization of AGC kinase family and its regulation during plant development. Dr. Zegzouti has authored over 30 journal articles and book chapters, co-edited a Kinase screening methods book and is an inventor on several patents.
