Join us for our focused webinar on the challenges and prospects of single-cell omics in India. The webinar will consist of scientific talks followed by a panel discussion on the process and challenges of adopting this technology in Indian research institutes. We will interact with leading scientists from IISER Pune, ILS Bhubneswar, NCBS Bangalore, and ICMR, and learn how they are employing single-cell omics in their scientific research. We will also have with us members of the 10x genomics team (the leading company providing single-cell sequencing platforms and reagents) to talk about the logistics of conducting these experiments in India. Finally, a US faculty expert in single-cell omics data analyses will partake in the panel to answer questions related to the challenges of big data management, storage, and analyses. So book your calendar for this webinar if - 1) you are conducting or planning to use this technology for your research, 2) are curious about how new technologies are adopted in India – the struggles and the support system that exist to make that happen.
The webinar will be sponsored by the 10x genomics team in India.
Save the date: July 23, 2022
