How to start with single-cell transcriptomics
Date: 31 October 2025 @ 09:00 - 17:00
Language of instruction: English
Single-cell transcriptomics is transforming our understanding of cellular diversity and function, making it an essential tool for researchers in genomics, molecular biology, and biomedical sciences. This training is designed for postdocs, PhD students, and lab technicians who are new to the field and want to build a solid foundation. Participants will learn to understand the key concepts, get started with single-cell omics, and explore the latest advancements in the field, so they can confidently start their single-cell transcriptomics projects. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to make informed decisions about technology choices, sample preparation, and data quality interpretation.
