BGI Australia

Empowering Ageing and Cancer Research  Using BGI Stereo-seq™ with Unprecedented Field-of-view, High Throughput and Subcellular Resolution

Boulevard Auditorium, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre

SpaTial Enhanced Resolution Omics-sequencing (Stereo-seq™) from BGI Research brings you in situ spatial transcriptome analysis at single cell resolution. Built on DNA Nanoball (DNB) technology, Stereo-seq™ allows unbiased transcriptome analysis with an unprecedented field of view. In this workshop you will learn about the technology and how it has been empowering Australian scientists in their cutting-edge research:<ul><li>The simple and accessible Stereo-seq workflow, advanced data analysis tools including SAW and Stereopy, and the latest development of the technology;</li><li>Dr Quan Nguyen from the University of Queensland will talk about his frontier study in advancing the understanding of differential and communicative aging between organs, suggesting potential therapeutical targets for regulating aging processes;</li><li>Dr Jennifer Currenti from Curtin University will talk about her team's carcinoma study and their revolutionary approach by combining two complementary technologies Stereo-seq and Jumpcode to improve the ability to annotate cell types and discover cellular niches while reducing the sequencing cost of the workflow. </li></ul>Agenda7:15am Breakfast and Coffee Open7:30am Opening Address by Mr. Richard Harrison, BGI Australia7:35am An Accessible STOmics Workflow for Any Laboratory Dr. Kira Sun, Field Application Scientist, BGI Australia7:50am Building Spatial Multi-organ Ageing Clocks (s-MACs) Dr Quan Nguyen, Group Leader, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland8:10am STOmics-GenX: When Stereo-seq™ meets Jumpcode Dr Jennifer Currenti, Researcher, Curtin UniversityEach talk will include a short Q&amp;A session at the end of the talk.
