Categories: Faculty, Research

Protein and sequencing based technologies are helping researchers to profile immune cells ever more deeply.

Pfizer-Laubach CD Assistant Professor Alex K. Shalek‘s efforts to create Seq-Well, a single-cell RNA sequencing system that floats cells onto a silicone array containing 86,000 subnanolitre wells, have been highlighted in Nature. The article, written by Esther Landuis and dated May 22, 2018, is titled ‘Single-cell approaches to immune profiling’ and outlines the “protein and sequencing based technologies that are helping researchers to profile immune cells ever more deeply.”
