Microgenomics 2021 Webinar Series: Single-Cell Analytics

Single-cell analysis is attracting considerable interest in various areas of scientific research, particularly in oncology, where it is used to dissect tumor heterogeneity both at the tissue level and at the level of circulating tumor cells. Despite the continuous technological development in this field, researchers often face problems related to the application of single-cell analysis in their different and specific fields. Many challenges still need to be overcome to achieve widespread use of these new and often sophisticated technologies, especially when it comes to the management of cancer patients. This webinar aims to highlight the most critical issues and the most important results that can be achieved by this type of research.
