This theater will showcase the latest in how new single cell approaches can better reveal cellular diversity, states and interactions missed by bulk analysis. Sessions will explore how to scale to millions of cells, developing better multi-modal assays, and the latest thinking on using single cell technologies to further illuminate our understanding of disease mechanisms, target exploration and biomarker discovery.
