Uncovering hidden cell states using single-cell transcriptomics
The widespread use of single-cell approaches has enabled a new level of resolution to study our biological systems of interest. From large single-cell atlases to smaller targeted studies, we are unearthing numerous new cellular states that had previously gone unnoticed. In this talk, I will describe how we used single-cell approaches to understand the process of somatic cell reprogramming and how this led us to discover a new cell state, the induced trophoblast stem cell (or iTSC).

Single-Cell Experiments: The checklist you need before starting your project.
Single-Cell Experiments: The checklist you need before starting your project.
Nowadays, and due to the boom of commercial kits, it is quite easy to have access to single-cell technology. However, before planning any experiments, there are key points that need to be thought of before even considering buying any kit. In my talk, I will be taking you step-by-step through all these crucial points that are vital for the success of your project.
