I’m really excited about this! #ozsinglecell

[Unimelb Centre for Stem Cell Systems @StemCellsUoM]

Great to see #OzSingleCell is back for 2020!✨Looking forward to world-class talks from the @ozsinglecells network!

[OzSingleCell Omics @ozsinglecells]

Oz Single Cell is back!

It will look at bit different this year. We are planning a vodcast series kicking off in August. Stay tuned for more details.

We're looking forward to embarking on this project with our national and international partners @LabDabdoub @mincle @jackie_ogier @OHNS_Frontiers

[Unimelb Centre for Stem Cell Systems @StemCellsUoM]

A great initiative which recognises and rewards scientists conducting excellent and vital #stemcell research.

[Stem Cell Foundation @AusStemCell]

The 2020 Metcalf Prizes for Stem Cell Research are NOW OPEN.
Do you know a rising star of Australian stem cell science? Encourage them to apply for 2 x $50K #MetcalfPrizes. Closes 31 July. Please share. More info: https://t.co/13jmO55wJR

[Mike Clark @ClarksysCorner]

Our paper on applying targeted RNA sequencing (CaptureSeq) to samples with small numbers of cells is now out in RNA biology.
We find CaptureSeq is even more useful on these "mini-bulk" samples than on bulk libraries. /1

Professor Melissa Little @MCRI_for_kids is chairing #ISSCR2020 Plenary IV: Dissecting Organogenesis, on Fri 26 June 4-6pm EDT. The conversation will continue in the Scientific Forum following this session.

For those in Australia, it will take place Sat 27 June 6-8am AEST.

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

Identifying/comparing cell types in #organoids is tricky, esp. in #scRNAseq data. My #ISSCR2020 poster (S-II) describes using #MachineLearning classifier scPred to identify cells in #kidneyorganoids allowing multi-dataset comparison. If that interests you please check it out!

[Unimelb Centre for Stem Cell Systems @StemCellsUoM]

Professor Megan Munsie, Deputy Director of the Centre for Stem Cell Systems @unimelb will be a member of the #ISSCR2020 Concurrent - Clinical Applications: Neural session, on Thurs 25 June 8 - 9:45pm EDT.

For those in Australia, it will take place Fri 26 June 10-11.45am AEST
