Single-cell omics in biomedicine
From perfect experiment to clinics and industry
Are you fascinated by single-cell omics and state-of-the-art technologies and how they revolutionize the clinics of tomorrow? Yet, you do not know where to start or how to design a perfect experiment? Then save the date, this 2-day symposium is for you!
Practical details
The 2-day workshop will provide comprehensive theoretical overview on the single-cell omics technologies, experimental design and analysis, challenges and potential solutions. This will be complemented by real-data experience sharing both from the clinics and industry, demonstrating the potential of single-cell technologies for translational/(pre-)clinical applications. Open discussion panels will further bring together cutting-edge expertise and experience of academic, clinical, and industrial research groups to bridge the gap between fundamental and translational science.
