Single cell genomics is a revolutionary technology transforming many fields of biological research, including immunology and cancer. Through its many applications (e.g. single cell genome sequencing, single cell transcriptomics, and various single cell epigenetic profiling approaches), researchers can characterize the genetic and functional properties of individual cells in their native conditions, leading to numerous experimental and clinical opportunities.
-Which technologies are going to set the standard in the field?
-How many cells needed to be sampled? How should sampling be designed and optimized?
-How can the behaviour of groups of hundreds or thousands of single cells be analysed and modelled?
-What is the importance of modelling when precise single-cell-states are available?
-How can single cell genomics and epigenomics be integrated?
-What are the immediate implications for immunology, cancer research and germ cells?
Topics will cover:
- Development and stem cells
- Epigenomics and chromatin structure
- Immunology
- New experimental approaches
- Computational techniques
