Cytobank: Enabling Single Cell Analysis & Personalized Medicine

Nikesh Kotecha

The promise of next generation therapies, drugs and diagnostics rely on the ability to selectively target pathways and cell subsets – increased selectivity can mean the difference between a broad therapy with significant side effects and a focused therapy that selectively targets diseased cells. Single cell technologies such as flow and mass cytometry are positioned to fulfill this promise but have been hampered by the analytics. Platforms such as Cytobank are overcoming this challenge and helping users understand biological systems controlling development and cell-cell interactions and thus enabling precise targeting of abnormal signaling to specifically kill diseased cells.

In this workshop, we will use the Cytobank platform to work with standard flow and mass cytometry datasets. We will cover standard and advanced analysis methods including SPADE and viSNE.
