Using Single Cell Multi-Omics to Analyse the Immune SystemWatch nowIn this webinar experts explain how single cell multi-omics can provide detailed insights into how the immune system functions in health and disease. Single cell sequencing is a valuable approach for studying the immune system and its crosstalk with various tissues, providing information on gene expression within thousands of cells in a single experiment. Now that a new era of single cell multi-omics has emerged, new layers of information can be added to transcriptomics data, allowing us to study biological processes with unprecedent detail and throughput.This webinar will focus on: Talk 1: Single cell RNA sequencing from nasal biopsies reveals immune-/epithelial cell cross-talk in symptomatic post-COVID patients. The first talk – delivered by Dr. Anke Faehnrich of the University of Luebeck, Germany – will present recent findings on the crosstalk between immune and epithelial cells in post-COVID patients, as analysed with single cell RNA sequencing of nasal biopsies.What you will learn from this talk: An outline of applying single cell RNA-seq to study nasal biopsies, including:Transcriptome profiles of the identified cell types.Identification of key molecules and biological pathways linked to post-COVID syndrome.Immune/ epithelial crosstalk and its potential effect on mucosal barrier function. Talk 2: Chemoenzymatic measurement of cell-surface LacNAc in single cell multi-omics reveals LacNAc as a cell-surface indicator of glycolytic activity of CD8+ T cells. The second talk – delivered by Prof. Jie P. Li, of the Nanjing University, China – will introduce a novel multi-omic approach for the quantification of cell surface glycosylation, together with gene profiling at single cell level.What you will learn from this talk:The working principles of a novel chemoenzymatic method for LacNac detection at a single cell level.How cell-surface glycosylation levels vary in activated and quiescent CD8+ T cells.Further applications of single cell multi-omic approaches. Talks are followed by audience Q&A with both speakers.
