Presentation Topic

Explore the benefits of simplifying and scaling your scRNA-Seq experiments.

Conventional droplet-based single-cell technologies struggle as experiment size changes. In the most opressive situations, a new instrument is required to take advantage of the additional capability. Those restrictions have disappeared with the introduction of the Parse Biosciences Evercode Whole Transcriptome product line - an improved and commercialised version of the split-pool combinatorial barcoding published in Science. 

This entrant to the single-cell field enables experiments ranging from 10,000 - 1 Million cells with little appreciable difference in sample preparation time or result quality across that spectrum. Coupled with workflow enablement through cell or nuclei fixation, experiments of all scales become practical and achievable.

Presentation Topic
Kids are not small adults: identifying age-dependent drug targets in oncology.

Dr Omar Elaskalani is a researcher in cancer biology and tumour immunology. Omar completed his PhD at Curin University, followed by appointments at Murdoch University and a biotech company. His previous research focused on platelets and neutrophils interplay in cancer. In 2021, Omar joined Telethon Kids Institute, leading the newly established core group "Paediatric Cancer Immunotherapy". The focus of this group is to develop effective and safer immunotherapy for childhood cancer.
