Single Cell Biology ONLINE

Our latest webinar series: Single Cell Biology ONLINE will bring you granular insights from the most complex, heterogeneous tissues and show you how to delineate cells of interest that may be causative in disease onset and progression.

Over the next three webinars, analysis approaches into rare cell types and populations will be covered, and examples of how to identify cellular changes in some of the world’s most complex diseases – with a special focus on Alzheimer’s, liver diseases, cancer and autoimmune diseases.

The webinar series outline is below. Please note, that by registering for the first webinar in the series you will automatically gain access to all subsequent webinars.

Webinar 1: Discovering rare cell types in heterogeneous tissues  

Tuesday 11^th July at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST 
Sponsored by 10x Genomics 

With a plethora of cell types in complex tissues, understanding the intricacies of tissue architecture and the presence of rare cell types or sub-populations can provide useful insights into how these cells contribute to the functioning of the biological system. 

In this webinar, we will explore how single-cell approaches can provide useful insights into how rare cells or subpopulations are contributing to the function, or disfunction of tissues, and what this means for future research.
