Online Course Focusing on Cancer Biology Studied at Single-Cell Level

The world of cancer research is set to delve deeper into the realm of single-cell technologies with the launch of the "Single-Cell for Cancer Biology ONLINE" webinar series. This exciting venture, scheduled to commence on April 4, 2024, promises to provide valuable insights into the use of single-cell methodologies in cancer research.

Kicking off the series is the first webinar, "Single-Cell Epigenetic Integration for Exploring Cancer Cell Dynamics," to be held on April 11, 2024. This session will feature talks by Kimberly Glass, Mei-Ju (May) Chen, and an unspecified third speaker. They will discuss topics related to single-cell epigenetic integration and cancer biology, with a focus on understanding cellular complexity. The webinar will also highlight how single-cell can be used in the context of bulk data.

On April 18, 2024, the second webinar, "Single-Cell Tumor Microenvironment Immune Dynamics," will take centre stage. This session will cover the latest examples of using single-cell analysis to understand TME dynamics. Speakers for this session include Jordan Krull, who will discuss "Unlocking the Potential of Foundation Models in Single-Cell RNA-Seq to Enhance Insights into Tumor Immunity," and Mirjana Efremova, who will focus on "Dissecting Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Colorectal Cancer Metastasis."

The series will conclude on April 25, 2024, with the third webinar, "Single-Cell Omics Methods for Resolving Cancer Cell Heterogeneity." Meryam Beniazza will discuss "Strategies for Successful Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Experiment Planning," while Annalisa Occhipinti will delve into "Single Cell Metabolomics for Breast Cancer to Identify Cancer Subtypes & Subclusters." The session will also feature a talk by Meryam Beniazza, who will discuss "Strategies for Successful Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Experiment Planning."

Notable speakers in the series include Judith Zaugg, Group Leader at EMBL Heidelberg, and Michalina Janiszewska, who will speak at the second webinar, discussing Glioblastoma Tumor Microenvironment Linked to Single-Cell Tumor Heterogeneity & Immune Infiltration. Lindsay LaFave will also participate, focusing on Single-Cell Profiling to Decipher Mechanistic Insights of Cell Heterogeneity During Lung Cancer Initiation, Metastasis and Treatment.

The webinars, delivered online, aim to provide foundational and advanced insights into single-cell technologies relevant to cancer biology and biomedical research more broadly. They will showcase examples of single-cell sequencing data to improve understanding of cancer characteristics and cover methods for integrating epigenetics, metabolomics, and more to better understand cancer cell and tumor dynamics.

Registration for one webinar in the series automatically registers attendees for all subsequent webinars, making it convenient for participants to immerse themselves in this fascinating exploration of single-cell technologies in cancer research.
