Broadening Drug Discovery: Use of Unperturbed, Native State Cells to Uncover True Biological Targets at Single-Cell Level

Speaker: Dr. Camila Egidio, LevitasBio

Applications: Single-Cell, Oncology

Key takeaways:

• Learn about single-cell RNA sequencing as a relevant tool for drug discovery

Description

Reduce scRNA-seq Sparsity with the LeviCell System

Speaker: Dr. Debia Wakhloo, LevitasBio

Application: Single-Cell

Key takeaways:

• Learn about data sparsity in single-cell sequencing and the production of non-biological zeroes that skew downstream analysis
• Importance of artificial vs. truly biological zeroes
• Learn how the LeviCell reduces data sparsity and improves the quality of scRNA-seq to maximize the biological information gleaned from single cells.
