From Bench to Breakthrough: Cutting-Edge Tools for Cell Biology

Bio-protocol is excited to announce a new webinar partnership with the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), a collaboration designed to bring cutting-edge cell biology methods directly to our community. This collaboration combines Bio-protocol's mission to improve research reproducibility with ASCB’s commitment to advancing the study of cells. Collaborative webinars will be featured regularly as part of the monthly Bio-protocol Webinar Series.

What to expect from each session

The webinars will feature in-depth presentations from scientists who have developed and refined impactful experimental methods. Each session will include:

• A 30–40 min step-by-step presentation covering the background, development, and applications of a specific method.
• Live Q&A with the method’s developers, offering a rare opportunity for direct discussion and troubleshooting.
• On-demand access to recordings through a webinar archive for continued learning.

Why this partnership matters to our community

This collaboration deepens our commitment to you by:

• Bringing you leading experts in cell biology, leveraging the extensive network of ASCB.
• Providing direct access to rigorously developed methods from leaders in the field.
• Supporting reproducibility and transparency through open discussions.
• Creating a new space for our community to engage with innovators beyond publications.

Get involved

We invite you to take part in this collaboration:

• Get notified about upcoming webinars.
• Submit questions in advance for webinar presenters.
• Attend live or watch sessions on demand.
• Propose topics you’d like to see covered in future webinars.

Whether you are refining a technique or exploring a new experimental approach, this series is designed to help move your research forward.
