Event by Novo Nordisk Foundation Science Cluster

    Danish Single Cell Symposium

    This one-day symposium will focus on every aspect of single cell transcriptomics ranging from sample processing to data analysis. Through oral and poster presentations, Danish and international, junior and senior researchers will present their single cell transcriptomics data obtained from various cell cultures, model organisms and human tissues. During the symposium participants will discuss how single cell transcriptomics can be applied to resolve cell heterogeneity in order to identify distinct cell types in complex tissues, to study tissue differentiation and maturation and to identify mechanisms of pathogenesis and disease progression.

    FAQ

    I would like to know about upcoming events – where can I find information?

    Please consult our website www.cph-bioscience.com

    You are very welcome to join the ‘Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Centers’ Linkedin group. There you will find information about upcoming lectures, and much more. Also, you may want to sign up for the weekly announcement with events and deadlines, sent out by the group manager.

    What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

    If you are by car, you can park for free in front or at the side of Tuborg Havnevej 19. If that is full, there is 3 hours free parking in the parking to the Waterfront shopping mall at the end of the road.

    Public transport by train to Hellerup station, and/or bus (1A, 21, 166), nearest by bus stop is Tuborg Boulevard.

    Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
