Cellular heterogeneity underpins many of life’s processes, from normal development to the onset of disease. Since the advent of single-cell sequencing, cellular heterogeneity has been heavily studied in the search of novel insights into disease onset. Coupled with spatial context in tissue samples, the granularity of this research has reached even finer details.
In the next series of Single-cell and Spatial Omics ONLINE, we delve into the advances in single-cell and spatial sequencing capabilities, highlight key areas of research and showcase how improvements to the workflow can accelerate discoveries.
By registering for the first webinar in the series you will automatically gain access to the subsequent webinars.
Webinar 1: Single-cell meets spatial biology
Tuesday, 7th December, 3pm GMT/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST
