In this virtual summit, an expert panel will discuss recent advances in combinatorial single cell CRISPR screens and their applications in functional genomics studies and dissecting gene pathways implicated in health and disease.
Tiffany Garbutt speaks with Samuel Marsh, a postdoctoral researcher at Boston’s Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, about how he uses single cell technology and spatial transcriptomics to better understand the role of microglia in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.
The Scientist Social Club recently read Venomous: How Earth’s Deadliest Creatures Mastered Biochemistry by our newsletter editor, Christie Wilcox. We sat down with Christie to discuss the logistics of researching and writing the book, how venoms are being used as potent therapeutics, and the best animal to use to dispatch someone... theoretically, of course.
Thanks for reading! I’m Christie, and I curate and edit this newsletter. My inbox is always open, so if you have thoughts or ideas about this newsletter or tips for our news team, I’d love to hear from you.
