Single Cell Genomics Day: A Practical Workshop

Recent developments in molecular biology, microfluidics, and computational biology have transformed the field of single cell genomics. However, the breathtaking pace of technology development has given rise to a multitude of molecular protocols, commercial systems, and computational challenges.

The Satija Lab is excited to host the Second Annual Single Cell Genomics Day on Friday, January 19, 2018. This workshop will begin with an overview of exciting developments in the field over the past year, followed by in-depth presentations with an emphasis on practical details and considerations. Our goal is not to fully describe the details of each method, but instead to highlight the intuition and key use cases that can help motivate new users to get started.

Single Cell Genomics Day will be held at the NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, with check in beginning at 9:00 AM. Please register in advance to attend in person. The workshop is free for all participants, thanks to generous support from the NYU Biology department and Center for Genomics and Systems Biology.

We thank the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for supporting a livestream of the presentation. The livestream has ended and is not available for viewing.
