“SOPs for Single Cell Data Collection in Large, Diverse Cohorts”
Tuesday April 30, 10:10am at CoLabs Yosemite conference room (S-857)
Refreshments will be served.
Dr. Barreiro, is a professor at the University of Chicago, Section of Genetic Medicine Chair of Committee on Genetics, Genomics & Systems Biology.
He will describe the current efforts that his lab is doing to generate population-level single cell maps of immune variation across different human populations.
He will discuss the SOPs that they are using to collect blood samples in the field, cryopreservation of PBMCs, and the strategies that they are using in order to be able to profile at single cell resolution the immune response of PBMCs of hundreds of individuals to multiple pathogenic agents.
