UNC Spatial Biology and Single Cell Symposium
November 12 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
University of North Carolina researchers are invited to join Bruker Spatial Biology and the Pathology Services Core for an exciting and engaging afternoon filled with scientific innovation. Throughout the summit various single-cell experts will share best practices, real world experiences, and their enthusiasm for what’s to come in single-cell research! We invite you to stay for the whole event or join us for the session that best fits your research questions.
New to single-cell research? Single-cell research is a cutting-edge field in spatial biology that focuses on studying individual cells rather than bulk populations. This approach allows scientists to uncover cellular diversity, understand complex biological systems, and identify rare cell types that would otherwise be masked in averaged data. Cells are a fundamental unit of life. A comprehensive understanding of how cells organize themselves in different layers of information to form tissues is not yet fully achieved. Further, no matter how seemingly homogeneous a tissue might appear, it contains a diverse population of cells, all of which represent different manifestations of that tissue type.
