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

With ‘Trends in Single Cell Analysis #8’ 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 want to go into a single cell and learn how we can investigate its intracellular contents. To this aim we have invited Prof. Cornelia Monzel from the Department of Experimental Physics at the Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf. She will present an overview on how to use magnetogenetics to manipulate signalling pathways in single cells.

Then, Dr. Orane Guillaume-Gentil from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne will show Fluidic Force Microscopy (FluidFM) use in live-cell biology, followed by Dr. Tamás Gerecsei who will present how Cytosurge’s FluidFM adaptation enables further single-cell experiments.
