Single Cell Genomics Platform
Head: Simone Picelli
Single cell technologies enable the analysis of thousands of single cells in just one experiment, generating an unprecedented amount of data. The field is rapidly expanding, with new methods and algorithms for data analysis being published almost every week.
IOB has a state-of-the-art Single Cell Genomics Facility that provides clinicians and basic researchers with guidance, support and advice for implementing single cell sequencing technologies in their current and future projects. Our platform also develops new single cell methods to improve data quality, increase throughput and reduce costs.
The Single Cell Genomics Facility offers the latest technologies in the Genomics field and has made significant contributions to understanding fundamental molecular mechanisms in healthy and diseased individuals.
