Session 18: Single-cell multiomics technologies: From research to human health

Updated: 2024-07-22

In recent years, with the development of high-throughput single-cell multiomics technologies, a vast amount of single-cell transcriptional data from different tissues of various species has been generated worldwide.

However, the organization of the body's organs involves not only cellular diversity but also the orderly spatial distribution of cells, transcriptional regulation at the genomic level and the role played by proteins. These aspects cannot be captured by traditional single-cell single-omics data. Therefore, the integrated application of multiomics technologies is essential for a more comprehensive understanding of the development, functioning mechanisms and disease processes of living organisms.

Single-cell level multiomics detection technologies and data analysis methods have been continuously developing in recent years. New technologies and tools are emerging at a dazzling pace, playing increasingly important roles in developmental regulation, organ functions, disease mechanisms, precision medicine and other scientific research and applications. These advancements provide powerful tools for basic research in life sciences and studies related to human health.

This session will focus on the cutting-edge advancements in single-cell multiomics technologies and their extensive applications. It aims to promote discussion and exchanges among experts and scholars in related fields and advance the appliance of such technologies in life science research and human health services.
