About the event

Registration now open!

Single-cell genomic technologies continue to develop at pace, generating new insights into cellular diversity within living systems.

This event aims to bring together researchers who are curious about applying single cell technologies with those who are experts working at the forefront of the field and across a wide range of species.

The symposium covers single-cell genomics technologies and their application in microbial, plant, animal and human health and disease.

Offering a forum for researchers working on similar challenges in diverse systems to discuss the latest developments in single-cell genomics, while networking with other researchers with the intention of catalysing future development and application of single-cell genomics across the UK.

The event will feature talks from keynotes, invited speakers and selected abstracts, and we are keen to capture as broad a range of single-cell applications as possible. Topics to be covered include:

Single-cell genomics in plant and microbial research
Single-cell genomics in health, disease and development
Single-cell informatics
Single-cell technology development

We're pleased to confirm our two keynote speakers will be:

Seung Yon (Sue) Rhee, Carnegie Institute for Science

Detlev Arendt, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg

We will also be opening up doors to Earlham Institute’s Single-Cell labs, so you will be able to see our technology and capability as well as access our expertise through our researchers.
