Single Cell Sequencing: Transform Your Immunology and Cancer Research from Bulk to Single Cell Analysis

27 May 2020, 10:00 am Eastern Time (ET)

Single cell sequencing has transformed our ability to discern the cellular and molecular makeup of human immune systems and tissues in a unique manner with a level of precision that other “omic” technologies are unable to provide. Coupled with rigorous analysis, this technology is able to identify rare cell populations/subtypes and provide novel insights about pathways and thus transform our ability to characterize human disease, as well as, drug targeting through a deeper understanding of underlying biology.

Single cell RNA sequencing, in particular, allows a researcher to identify complex heterogeneous cell types at a molecular level. For infectious disease research, single cell data analysis helps us understand our immune system responses to different pathogens. In cancer studies, this means a deeper understanding of the ecosystems of malignant cells; providing better resolution of the tumor microenvironment. This ultimately helps to more efficiently and effectively treat diseases by different modalities such as cell-based and immuno-therapies.

In this webinar, please join our invited guest speakers as we discuss the advantages and challenges of single cell sequencing and how this technology has helped deliver a deeper understanding of disease and cellular biology in unique and complementary ways to other omics technologies.
