Single-Cell Workshop: Investigating human health and disease at single-cell resolution

Single-cell genomics is revolutionizing our understanding of biology by providing decisive insights into the complexity of cells and tissues in model organisms and in humans.

Our single-cell workshop brought together a panel of worldwide experts in single genomics to discuss how human health and disease can be resolved at the single-cell level. Participants will hear how advances in single-cell genomics are leading to a better understanding of complex biological processes at play in various diseases, and may pave the way for innovative therapeutic intervention.

Register below to view all talks from our speaker panel, presented as part of Oxford Global’s 2020 NextGen Omics Series UK.

Speakers and topics include:

  • Advances in single-cell combinatorial indexing
    Dr. Andrew Adey (Oregon Health and Science University, Oregon)
  • Single-cell atlases of the substantia nigra identify Parkinson's disease risk-associated cell types and new gene targets
    Dr. Caleb Webber (UK Dementia Research Institute, Cardiff)
  • Combined single-cell TCR and transcriptomics using the ICELL8

  • Dissection of gene expression heterogeneity at single-cell resolution in CRISPR-Cas9-induced mouse models of acute erythroid leukemia
    Dr. Ilaria Iacobucci (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis)
  • CD4/CD8 lineage choice at the single-cell level
    Dr. Matthias Merkenschlager (Imperial College London, UK)
  • Somatic CNV detection by single-cell whole-genome sequencing in multiple system atrophy, a sporadic neurodegenerative disorder
