Baker Sponsored December's Conference and Holidays Celebration
Baker was thrilled to participate in the UMass Metabolic Network (MetNet) December conference. MetNet hosts conferences on a variety of metabolic related topics with speakers from in and out of the UMass system. In addition to hearing flash talks form the MetNet team and participating in some heavily oxygenated trivia, Baker provided a technology presentation focused on tools for ensuring physiologically relevant oxygen conditions in cell culture workflows. Baker’s hypoxia solutions create the optimal environment for cell research.
UMass Metabolic Network
MetNet is a community of researchers who are enthusiastic about metabolism and metabolic regulation. MetNet researchers are exploring all aspects of metabolism and its regulation ranging from basic biochemistry to organ function to whole body metabolic health. MetNet strives to create an interactive community to share ideas, expertise, & experiences related to all aspects of metabolism research. In addition to fostering collaborations, MetNet advances on-campus resources for metabolic research.
Baker and MetNet Supporting Science Together
In addition to the technology presentation, representatives from many of the teams that are performing research at UMass Chan Medical School provided talks updating their peers on some of the exciting work being done within the MetNet community. Baker is proud to sponsor the MetNet organization and help to support the ongoing collaborative environment featured in the symposia.
