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

With the 11th edition of Trends in Single Cell Analysis, we continue our event series Life Science Innovation, offering insights into pioneering single cell technologies and their applications in cancer research and liquid biopsy.

In this session, we spotlight advances in single cell proteomics, CTC detection in NSCLC, and novel single cell sequencing platforms. We are excited to welcome a diverse group of experts from academia and industry who will present cutting-edge technologies and concepts in single cell analysis.
