The One and Only:

Single-Cell Resolution of Autoimmune Disorders

From Ancient Recipes to the Blood of Komodo Dragons:

The Quest for a Solution to the Current Onslaught of

Superbugs

WEBINAR SPONSORED BY

Heterogeneous disorders such as autoimmune diseases are challenging to study using conventional sequencing techniques. Immune responses

are complex, and important mechanisms in single cells may be lost when sequencing a bulk cell population. Researchers can better appreciate the

intricacies of autoimmune diseases with high throughput sequencing of individual cells. Join The Scientist for an educational webinar, sponsored by

BioLegend, where our panel of experts discuss what they have learned while researching autoimmune diseases using single-cell techniques.

The search for solutions to antibiotic resistance is moving beyond traditional antibiotic drugs, leading researchers to some unexpected places. The

Scientist brought together a panel of experts in the fi eld of antibiotic development to present their research on novel solutions for overcoming

superbugs that have developed resistance to traditional antimicrobials.
