Single Cell Technologies and their Fields of Application (Tumor Cells)

With ‘Trends in Single Cell Analysis #6’ we will continue our event format ‘Life Science Innovation’, which provides insights into innovative research topics and current developments in Duesseldorf, NRW and beyond.

This time, we have invited Prof. Mette Ørskov Agerbæk from Copenhagen (Denmark) who will tell us a fascinating story about a novel circulating tumor cell (CTC) staining by targeting surface proteoglycans. Dr. Roberto Piñeiro Cid from Santiago de Compostela (Spain) will increase our understanding how CTC-clusters contribute to breast cancer metastasis. Last, but not least, from the Heinrich-Heine University Dr. Tobias Lautwein will provide an overview on present single cell applications and data analysis options available at the local Biological and Medical Research Centre (BMFZ).
