Spatial Biology – Webinars and Online Events

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology is revolutionizing our understanding of cellular heterogeneity within complex tissues and RNA transcripts. However, navigating the nuances of scRNA-seq data is crucial for accurate downstream analyses.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly population. While several peptide and protein biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have been used for AD diagnosis, an unequivocal diagnosis in the early phases of AD is still lacking.

Generating a highly expressing, regulatory compliant clonal cell line is key when developing a biopharmaceutical. Yet cell line development is labor-intensive, time consuming and costly.

The production of a high-quality and productive cell line requires both an expression system which yields high expressing clones and a workflow which allows selection of the highest producing clones.

In this webinar, you’ll discover how combining a single-cell analysis platform with a novel glutamine synthetase-Chinese hamster ovary (GS-CHO) expression system can yield highly productive, scalable, clonal cell lines for developing biopharmaceuticals.

This webinar highlights a platform that can identify biomarkers with clinical benefit in non-small cell lung cancer and analyze the immune microenvironment in bone marrow trephine samples.

This webinar showcases the latest live-cell metabolic analysis technologies for the detection of cellular bioenergetic changes in human immune cells. It demonstrates real-world applications for the development and testing of life-saving therapeutics.

Using the example of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), this webinar takes a closer look at immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), helping us to gain a better understanding of how specific subtypes and their reprogramming may influence therapy efficiency.

Cancer cells engage in intricate interactions with neighboring cancerous and stromal cells through direct cell-to-cell contact and paracrine signaling. Long-range communication with distant organ sites is facilitated by extracellular vesicles, as well as signaling molecules like cytokines, hormones and growth factors .

In this webinar, Dr. Luciane Kagohara from Johns Hopkins Medicine will discuss a novel artificial intelligence method integrating imaging, spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA-seq data that has been used to characterize the cell state transitions in pancreatic cancer progression.

New for 2023, this online event will provide researchers with an opportunity to learn about how spatial biology is helping us to gain a deeper understanding of molecular biology and mechanisms of disease. Speakers will discuss advances in spatial technologies and how they are being applied to provide a more complete picture of cells and complex biological systems in areas such as cancer research and neuroscience.

This popular online event will once again bring together leading scientists in the field as they highlight the latest advancements in translational proteomics and metabolomics. Presentations will cover areas ranging from uncovering the molecular mechanisms of disease pathology, to the latest technological developments in diagnostics and treatment.
