Integrating Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Proteomics: A New Era of Biological Research

LIVE SymposiumMonday, December 13, 20211:00 – 4:00 PM Eastern TimeRegister NowThere is an urgent requirement for quantitative biomarkers for psychiatric and neurological disorders to assess illness danger, facilitate diagnoses, and procedure drug treatment efficacy. Due to the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier, there are just trace amounts of brain-derived proteins in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, which makes it challenging to develop hassle-free biomarker screening for brain conditions. Researchers look beyond the standard protein assays and combine transcriptomics and practical imaging methods to transform brain disorder diagnostics.In this virtual symposium, a professional panel will go over how advances in single-cell sequencing, fluid-based RNA detection, and practical imaging speed up biomarker discovery to much better comprehend the brain in health and disease.Symposium program1:10 PM– Identifying Disease-Relevant Biomarkers for Spinal Muscular AtrophyAllison D.
