Description
Recent developments in molecular biology, multiplexed imaging, and computational biology have transformed the field of single cell genomics, and have widespread biological applications. 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 ninth annual Single Cell Genomics Day on Friday, April 25, 2025. This workshop will begin with an overview of exciting developments in the field over the past year, followed by in-depth presentations on exciting methods and techniques. Our goal is to empower you to utilize single cell genomics in your work. The workshop is free and open to beginners and experts alike.
Come to:
- Learn about cutting-edge molecular technologies for multimodal single-cell analysis, scalable perturbation screens, time-resolved measurements, and spatial profiling.
- Discover powerful new computational approaches for analyzing single cell data with AI language models, interpreting and benchmarking spatial technologies, and cross-species atlasing.
- Hear keynote presentations from:
- Will Greenleaf Stanford University
- Hongkui Zheng Allen Institute for Brain Science
- Jure Leskovec Stanford University
Additional speakers and a full agenda will be posted to this website in advance of the workshop.
Single Cell Genomics Day will take place virtually in 2025. We are able to make all talks freely available via livestream thanks to support from the National Human Genome Research Institute to the Center for Integrated Cellular Analysis.
