Danish Single-cell Symposium and workshop – October 3-4

symposium

Live streams are available for selected sessions from The Danish Single-Cell Symposium 2019 and workshop

The Danish Single Cell Symposium 2019 takes place at the Maersk Tower on October 3, followed by the workshop 'Wet-lab methods in single-cell omics', on October 4.

Organizers

The symposium and workshop are organized by Associate Professor Tune H Pers from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) together with Konstantin Khodosevich from the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC).

Aim of the event

Through oral and poster presentations, Danish and international, junior and senior researchers will present their single-cell omics studies for various model organisms and human tissues. During the symposium participants will discuss how single-cell omics can be applied to resolve cell heterogeneity in order to identify distinct cell types in complex tissues, to study tissue differentiation and maturation and to identify mechanisms of pathogenesis and disease progression.
