About this event
Improving our understanding of how the immune system functions in health and disease will lead to the development of more effective therapies for a wide range of diseases.
Single cell sequencing is a valuable approach for studying the immune system and its crosstalk with various tissues, providing information on gene expression within thousands of cells in a single experiment. Now that a new era of single cell multi-omics has emerged, new layers of information can be added to transcriptomics data, allowing us to study biological processes with unprecedent detail and throughput.
But – how can you best use these new approaches to take your own research forwards? That’s where this webinar will help you...
----
The first talk – delivered by Dr. Anke Faehnrich of the University of Luebeck, Germany – will present recent findings on the crosstalk between immune and epithelial cells in post-COVID patients, as analysed with single cell RNA sequencing of nasal biopsies.
What you will learn from this talk:
An outline of applying single cell RNA-seq to study nasal biopsies, including:
----
The second talk – delivered by Prof. Jie P. Li, of the Nanjing University, China – will introduce a novel multi-omic approach for the quantification of cell surface glycosylation, together with gene profiling at single cell level.
What you will learn from this talk:
----
Talk 1: Single cell RNA sequencing from nasal biopsies reveals immune-/epithelial cell cross-talk in symptomatic post-COVID patients
Dr. Anke Faehnrich, Head of the Single Cell Core Facility and Single Cell Sequencing Section, Institute of Experimental Dermatology, University of Luebeck, Germany
Talk 2: Chemoenzymatic measurement of cell-surface LacNAc in single cell multi-omics reveals LacNAc as a cell-surface indicator of glycolytic activity of CD8+ T cells
Prof. Jie P. Li, Professor of Chemical Immunology, Nanjing University, China
Talks are followed by audience Q&A with both speakers.
