Accelerating drug discovery and development with single-cell and spatial profiling

The key to advancing human health lies in accelerating our understanding of the complexity of biology. The majority of potential drugs fail clinical trials, and discovering effective cancer therapies is particularly challenging due to the inherent heterogeneity of the disease. Resolving this biological complexity is key to fundamentally altering our understanding of cancer and requires the detailed molecular insight provided by methods with single cell or spatial resolution.

Join us for this webinar to learn how researchers from pharma and biotech companies and translational labs are leveraging 10x Genomics technologies throughout the drug discovery process to accelerate mechanistic understanding and reduce risk. Investigate tumor heterogeneity, evaluate the body’s response to tumors, discover tumor-associated mutations, and uncover mechanisms of therapeutic response and resistance at a resolution and scale like never before.

Key learning objectives

• Learn how researchers from pharma/biotech are leveraging 10x Genomics technologies throughout the drug development pipeline, including target identification, validation, translational and clinical research
• Discover the power of these platforms in investigating disease mechanisms; prognostic, predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers; mechanisms of therapeutic response; drug toxicity; and drug resistance at a resolution and scale like never before
• Become familiar with the general workflows of single-cell and spatial assays, key considerations for sample collection and experimental planning, and working with certified service providers

Who should attend?

• Translational oncologists who want to learn more about finding treatment response of targeted therapies
• Scientists working in cell & gene therapies looking to uncover molecular insights into therapeutic efficacy and toxicity
• Immuno-oncologists seeking deeper understanding of tumor heterogeneity and spatial architecture of tumor immune microenvironment and its effect on immunotherapy efficacy
