Linking Single-Cell Function to Multi-omic Analysis Using 'Lab on a Particle' Technology

Explore groundbreaking 'Lab on a Particle' technology in this 43-minute keynote presentation by Dr. Dino Di Carlo, Armond and Elena Hairapetian Professor of Bioengineering at UCLA. Discover how 3D-shaped hydrogel microparticle platforms capture cells and isolate their secretions, enabling cell sorting based on secreted products. Learn about applications in antibody discovery, recombinant product cell line development, and functional cell selection for cell therapies. Gain insights into the latest results linking single-cell transcriptomes to their secreted products, with a focus on two example applications of the secretion encoded single-cell sequencing (SEC-seq) workflow. Understand how this technology democratizes single-cell analysis using widely available flow cytometers and single-cell sequencing instruments. Participate in the live Q&A session following the presentation to deepen your understanding of this innovative approach to multi-omic analysis.
