Video about the course.

The goal of this two-week course is to teach students cutting-edge wet-lab approaches for single cell analysis, and to provide familiarity with basic bioinformatic approaches to single cell data. Modules of the course will be taught by scientists with expertise in distinct areas of single cell analysis.

Topics:
  • Droplet- and microwell based single cell isolation
  • SplitSeq device-free single cell RNA librarypreparation
  • Single molecule FISH
  • Single cell western blot
  • Photoactivatable single cell probes
  • Single cell mass spectrometry 
  • Introductory single cell sequencing analysis

Speakers and Module Leaders Include:

Noorsher Ahmed, University of California, San Diego
Nancy Allbritton, University of Washington
James Eberwine, University of Pennsylvania
Rong Fan, Yale University
Jean Fan, Johns Hopkins University
Livnat Jerby, Stanford University
Liana Lareau, University of California, Berkeley
Clarence Mah, University of California, San Diego
Samantha Morris, Washington University in St. Louis
