Single Cell Biology ONLINE - Webinar 1: Deciphering the architecture of heterogeneous tissues

Our latest webinar series: Single Cell Biology ONLINE will help you to monitor changes in cellular composition and how these contribute to some of the world’s most complex diseases and tissues.

Over the next three webinars, you will learn more about approaches to decipher rare cell types and subpopulations of interest in messy single-cell data. You will also gain an understanding of how single-cell approaches are underpinning changes in complex tissues, exemplified with case studies from world-leading researchers in Alzheimer’s, cancer, liver diseases and more.

Register now and you will leave with:

• A better understanding of approaches developed by your peers to isolate cells of interest.
• Examples of study design and analysis that demonstrates how to decipher the signal from noisy data of complex tissues, with examples in Alzheimer’s disease.
• An overview of how single-cell studies are strengthening our understanding of critical processes that are leading to disease onset and progression in a variety of disease areas, and how these insights can be translated into therapeutic opportunities in the future.

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.
