With deep learning methods revolutionizing life sciences, researchers bet on de novo proteins and cell mapping models to deliver customized precision medicines.
Microfluidic systems redefined biology by providing platforms that handle small fluid volumes, catalyzing advancements in cellular and molecular studies.
Researchers developed a “test tube” so tiny that it can hold a single cell. These vials enabled them to connect protein secretion levels with surface markers and transcriptome data from the same cell.
James R. Heath, PhD, President of the Institute for Systems Biology will discuss key single-cell learnings and applications from the large Seattle-based academic pharmaceutical consortium committed to defining molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and identifying potential prognostic immune biomarkers. Stacey Willard, PhD, from IsoPlexis will discuss how functional phenotyping individual immune cells using IsoPlexis technology edges researchers closer to predicting the risk for severe disease.
