Unlocking the Brain: Applications of Single-Cell RNA-Seq in Neuroscience

Monday, November 16 7:00-9:00 PM

Doors open at 7:00 PM for networking, appetizers, and refreshments. Scientific programming begins at 7:30.

The Brain is Complex. Single Cell Sequencing Helps You Decode it, One Cell at a Time.

Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is transforming neuroscience by revealing the cellular diversity and molecular mechanisms that shape brain development, function, and disease. With single cell resolution, researchers can now understand transcriptional networks underlying neural circuits and uncover cell type-specific mechanisms previously hidden in bulk data.

Join Parse Biosciences for an evening dedicated to exploring how scRNA-seq is advancing neuroscience research. You'll get the chance to connect with peers over cocktails and appetizers, and hear from researchers applying single cell genomics to the study of the brain.

Discover how Evercode™ technology enables scalable, high-throughput single cell analysis, powering discoveries across neurodevelopment, degeneration, and repair.
