Advancing the Analysis of Single Cell Transcriptomics to Facilitate Biomedical Research

Grant number: 1187748 | Funding period: 2020 - 2021

Completed

Abstract

Recently it has become possible to investigate the activity of thousands of individual cells simultaneously using single cell sequencing. One large international project focusing on the use of this technology is the Human Cell Atlas which aims to characterise and create a comprehensive reference map of all cell types in the human body. This grant application aims to develop methods that will deepen our fundamental understanding of the cellular processes that lead to disease.
