Summary:
The Seminar highlights the transformative potential of integrating Vizgen’s spatial technologies, Scale Biosciences’ single-cell sequencing, and BioLegend’s TotalSeq™ for protein profiling in multiomics research, offering insights into their complementary roles for advanced biological studies.

Speaker:

Maggie Nakamoto is the Senior Manager of Scientific Affairs at Scale Biosciences. Since completing her PhD in Molecular Biology she has worked extensively on assay and application development for single-cell sequencing platforms including RNA, immune repertoire, CITEseq, and CRISPR profiling. Maggie’s current role is focused on identifying and enabling new applications using ScaleBio single-cell technologies

Mr. Luan Nguyen, Business Manager, APAC at Vizgen Inc., is a seasoned genomics expert with 17 years in life sciences. Experienced in microarrays, NGS, and long-read sequencing, he leads spatial genomics adoption in Asia-Pacific. Previously at 10x Genomics, he expanded single-cell genomics in the region. Holds a Biology diploma from the University of Duesseldorf.

Nitchakarn (Nikki) Kaokhum, a Field Application Specialist at Genomax Technologies, leverages her experience as a Laboratory Assistant at the Siriraj Center of Research Excellence in Precision Medicine. With an MSc in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the University of Sheffield and a BSc in Microbiology from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, she specializes in executing biochemical assays, ELISA, and gene expression analysis.

During this seminar, you will:

• ^{Explore SCALE Biosciences revolutionary single-cell high-throughput workflow solutions, combinatorial indexing technology for scalable single-cell omics without specialized instruments.}
• ^{Unlock Multiomics insights with Biolegend TotalSeq antibodies, enabling simultaneous detection of surface and intracellular proteins alongside nucleic acids.}
• ^{Experience Vizgen MERSCOPE ULTRA’s advanced capabilities for high-resolution Spatial Transcriptomic imaging of up to 1000 genes in customize panels of FFPE tissue, boasting unmatched sensitivity and flexibility.} 
• ^{Discover integrated datasets combining single-cell RNA-seq and spatial gene expression profiling, enabling the profiling of low-abundance cells and non-targeted gene expression. These datasets reveal tissue composition and cellular interactions, offering deeper insights into neuroscience and cancer biology}
