Understanding biology, one cell at a time

Single-cell genomics is changing the way researchers study biology by allowing them to analyse individual cells in unprecedented detail. At The Festival of Genomics & Biodata, you'll get the chance to explore how single-cell technologies are helping scientists understand disease, development and human biology one cell at a time.

Sessions will focus on the biggest challenges and opportunities including identifying new cell types and states, understanding how cells change during disease, scaling studies to analyse millions of cells, and using single-cell data to discover new drug targets and biomarkers. You’ll also learn more about how AI and advanced computational methods are helping researchers analyse and interpret increasingly large single-cell datasets.

You can also meet leading technology providers on the vibrant exhibition floor to explore the latest single-cell sequencing platforms, sample preparation tools and data analysis solutions.

The Single‑Cell Stage will help you:

  • Learn more about how single-cell genomics is revealing new cell types, cell states and disease mechanisms.

  • Discover more about the latest advances in single-cell sequencing technologies and data analysis.

  • Discover how researchers are scaling single-cell studies across tissues, diseases and large patient cohorts.

  • See how single-cell data is helping identify new biomarkers, drug targets and precision medicine opportunities.
